1. Function of the apparatus:
The apparatus is designed to determine static bending strength, elastic modulus and tensile strength perpendicular to the plane of the plate in relation to fibreboards and other wood-based materials.
2. Characteristic of the apparatus:
The apparatus consists of the following units:
- apparatus base with millimeter scale and a buble level
- two cylindrical supports pursuant to PN-EN 310 standard; max. spacing 600 [mm],
- max. sample width 100 [mm],
- grips for testing tensile strength pursuant to EN 319,
- apparatus column with the following units placed inside:
- electric linear actuator
- force sensor 1 [kN] with thrust pursuant to EN 310
- 3 [kN] force sensor with yokes pursuant to EN 319
- road sensor
- apparatus changeover and movement switches located in the base,
- a measuring system (located in the base of the apparatus) with a digital display indicating the force value and enabling setting and signalling the exceeding of one or two threshold limit val
