Simpson Minilab PVF-C - Tensile Strength Measurement (PZV;M)

Operating Instructions 6
man-CH-PVF-C-V17-2 Minilab 43
Figure 6.2.11
The Piston extends downward and exerts a force on the test specimen
until it breaks. The maximum breaking force required relates to the
bending strength in N/cm
2
and is shown on the display. In addition, the
distance (in mm) the specimen travels until it breaks is displayed
(elasticity).
6. After completion of the measurement, remove the Twin
Transverse Strength Attachment Base and Cutter, and clean off
any sand deposits.
6.2.7 Tensile Strength Measurement (PZV/M)
1. Remove the Compression Insert (Figure 8.1, Item 4) (if
applicable) from the Piston (Figure 8.1, Item 3) (see Figure
6.2.4).
2. Align the Tensile Strength Attachment Base on the Minilab Base
Plate (Figure 8.1, Item 4), ensuring that attachment cylinder pins
are mounted in the corresponding holes on the machine base
(see Figure 6.2.11).
