LS5 Materials Testing Machine Launching at Chinaplas 2012

1/27/2012

Booth No: W1TBC, Chinaplas 2012, Shanghai, PR China, 18-21 April 2012

The new LS5 single column materials testing machine from Lloyd Instruments, is on show for the first time at Chinaplas 2012. The LS5 provides enhanced travel, accuracy and flexibility for plastics, rubber and packaging materials testing applications under 5kN force with a crosshead speed range from 0.01-1016 mm/min. Other instruments on show from the company's comprehensive range of materials testing machines will include the LS1 single column machine and the LR10KPlus twin column materials tester, together with Davenport™ polymer test equipment and Chatillon® force measuring equipment.

Designed for routine QC testing or complex multi-stage tests, the new LS5 can perform a comprehensive range of tests including tensile strength, compression, flexural, peel, shear, static and kinetic coefficient of friction and many more. Load accuracy of ?0.5% down to 1% of load cell value provides high dynamic range, reducing the number of load cells required.

Available in 800mm (5kN) and 1400mm (2.5kN) travel versions, the LS5 will be shown equipped with an EX800Plus contacting extensometer. A wide throat depth (140 mm) provides a large sample working area. PC control is provided through Lloyd Instruments' NEXYGENPlus materials testing software. Handheld controllers and integrated control consoles are also available.

Other materials testers on show are the LS1 single column machine, an affordable high precision solution for materials testing applications up to 1 kN (225 lbf) capacity and the LR10KPlus twin column machine for versatile materials testing to 10 kN (2248 lbf). The Chatillon® TCD225 Series Digital Force Tester for testing to 500 N (110 lbf), together with a range of hand held mechanical and digital force gauges and sensors can also be seen.

Davenport™ polymer test equipment on display will include the PETPlus Intrinsic Viscosity (IV) measurement instrument for measuring the intrinsic viscosity of PET bottles, pre-forms and reground material for recycling and the MFI-10 melt flow indexer, an intelligent, modular system for the determination of the melt flow properties of a polymer.
