8.1.2 Load Limit Setup
Basic Setup Panel
The screen appears as follows:
Specify the target load and direction, then specify the test speed. To collect continuous data
points for each run, enable Display Results. Results may still be saved even if Display Results
is disabled.
Pass / Fail Limits
Pass and fail limits may be specified to differentiate an acceptable sample versus a reject. Enable
if desired, then specify upper and lower limits. The types of limits in this panel correspond to the
type of test. For Load Limit and Load Hold tests, the pass/fail limits are distance values. For
Distance Limit and Break Limit tests, the pass/fail conditions are load values.
When enabled, a Pass/Fail indicator appears in the upper right corner of the Graph and Results
screens. In addition, a color-coded Pass/Fail column is added to the Results table.
Exception Limits
If a test does not reach its target, a number of exception limits may be specified to abort the test.
Enable if desired, then specify exception limits. An exception is triggered at whichever trigger
occurs first. If an exception is triggered, the crosshead stops, and the Pass/Fail status becomes
“Exception”. Values obtained in an exception run are not included in results calculations.
Exception options:
Limit Switch
Refers to the physical upper and lower (or right and left) limit switches, positionable along the
length of the test frame column.
Distance Limit
A specified distance has been reached.
Break Threshold and Break % Drop
A specified drop in load has occurred, for example when a sample breaks or a sample slips out
