Description
20kN servo screw fatigue rig capable of testing specimens in simulated ‘real’ environments. The specimen is enclosed in a protective chamber allowing for testing in various gas environments with and without a contaminant (salt) deposit. Used predominantly to simulate gas turbine environments. The environment can be pressurised up to 32bar.
Uses / Applications
Used to assess materials performance in simulated environments. Can also provide data for lifing models.

Specification
20kN, load control, complex cycles, up to 1Hz, up to 700°C, up to 32 bar, multiple gas testing (subject to COSHH and Risk assessment), salt deposits (subject to COSHH and Risk assessment).
