Product Overview
Static stress-strain testing systems represent the foundation of materials testing and structural analysis. These precision instruments apply controlled static loads to specimens while measuring resulting deformations, enabling comprehensive characterization of mechanical properties including tensile strength, compressive strength, flexural properties, and elastic modulus. Bridgent Technology's static testing systems combine robust mechanical design with advanced measurement technology to deliver accurate, repeatable results across a wide range of testing applications.
Our universal testing machines feature precision load frames with capacities ranging from small-scale laboratory instruments (5 kN) to large structural testing systems (5000 kN and beyond). Each system incorporates high-accuracy load cells, precision displacement transducers, and sophisticated control systems that enable both force-controlled and displacement-controlled testing modes. The modular design allows configuration with various grips, fixtures, and environmental chambers to accommodate diverse specimen types and testing standards.
Modern static testing systems integrate advanced data acquisition and analysis capabilities. Real-time stress-strain curve generation, automatic calculation of mechanical properties, and comprehensive test reporting streamline the testing process while ensuring data quality. Compliance with international testing standards (ISO, ASTM, EN, GB) is built into the system software, facilitating regulatory compliance and quality management system requirements.
