Build certainty into your dynamic testing with MTS Force Transducers |
|
|
Gaining
meaningful
materials
test data
requires
precise
measurement
and control
of the loads
and motions
being
applied to
test
specimens.
For dynamic
testing of
materials
under load,
displacement
or strain
control,
this
critical
measurement
function is
best
performed by
highly
accurate MTS
Force
Transducers
(load cells)
for

Easily and efficiently remove entrained air from hydraulic fluid
|
|
|
If not
promptly
removed,
entrained
air in
hydraulic
fluid will
create
varnish-like
nitrogen-oil
compounds
that
contaminate
the fluid.
This
contamination
leads to
accelerated
fluid
breakdown,
poor
equipment
performance,
system
damage – and
sometimes
even an
unhealthy
work
environment.
