PERCENTAGE BREAK
The Percentage Break test allows you to specify
the % Drop from the Peak Load. If you set the %
Drop at 80%, the DFS II gauge will determine the
Break Load when the measured load is 80% of the
Peak Load value.
When the DFS II Series gauge is in the “% Break
Mode”, the mode indicator will display as “%CBk”
for “% Compressive Break”. The DFS II mode
indicator will display “%TBk” for “% Tension Break”.
SHARP BREAK
The Sharp Break test looks for a 95% Drop from
the maximum load. In this test, you can determine
the “Break Detect Point” which is the load that
mustrstbeachievedbeforetheDFSIISeries
gauges begins to look for a 95% Drop in load. The
“Break Detect Point” is sometimes referred to as
the “load threshold” or “trigger load”.
During a Sharp Break Test, the DFS II gauge will
look for the Peak Load value and determine a
“Sharp Break” when the measured load equals
95% of the Peak Load value.
When the DFS II Series gauge is in the “Sharp
Break Mode” the mode indicator will display as
“SCBk” for “Sharp Compressive Break”. The DFS
II mode indicator will display “STBk” for “Sharp
Tension Break”.
