Compression Tester For Rigid Non-Metallic Conduits For Electrical Lab Training

Compression Tester For Rigid Non-Metallic Conduits - For Electrical Lab Training Conduits used in electrical installations shall possess adequate mechanical strength. One of the tests used for ascertaining the mechanical strength of conduits is the compression test. In this test, a test specimen taken from the sample of conduit under test is placed on a rigid flat surface and pressed from top with the help of a metallic cube. A specified load is applied on the conduit under test through the metallic cube and the reduction in diameter of the conduit determined. The load is then released and the recovery in the diameter is determined. The value of percentage deflection under load and percentage recovery after release of load are calculated and compared against specified values to evaluate the performance of the conduit under the action of compressive loads.   TheCompression Tester For Rigid Non-Metallic electrical conduits consists of a rigid platform for placing the test specimen on, an arrangement for compressing the conduit manually with the help of a hand-wheel and a screw arrangement, and a compression spring to apply the load on the conduit under test.   Technical data :   Maximum compressive load : 150 kg Dimensions of metallic cube : 50 x 50 mm Length of test specimens : 200 mm
