Tensile or compressive force shall be applied at a velocity range of 0.039 to 20 in per minute. Velocity of the test shall be selectable at anytime, including during conduct of a test. Machine response to velocity command shall be instantaneous. Velocity shall be selectable to any value within the specified range. Accuracy of velocity shall not exceed ? 0.1% of target value. System shall have jog controls for both directions intended for use during test preparations; shall resolve position to at least .0001 in.; shall include provisions to eliminate backlash during operation; shall stop motion at specimen rupture, break or other no-load test condition; s hall be designed and constructed so its reaction during use does not influence test results. Structural frame shall not suffer permanent deformation as a result of intended use. Accuracy of the load measurement shall be ?0.5% of instrument reading to ?1.0% of load cell capacity. The specimen securing fixture system shall utilize a ?quick-release? style interface to secure itself to the frame. The ?quick-release? system shall require no more than one common hand tool to remove or install fixtures. Fixture-securing feature shall have provisions for positive locking to prevent unintentional or accidental removal. Provisions shall be included to calibrate the controller and data acquisition computer system. System shall be a table-top style configuration. Motion of test travel shall be in the vertical direction. Structural frame of the system shall not exceed an envelope defined as 80?H x 42?W x 30?D, have sufficient horizontal clearance to accommodate a hypothetical specimen 16 in wide by 16 in deep; shall provide at least 42 in of vertical travel. This dimension is exclusive of specimen fixtures or adapters. Total weight of the system shall not exceed 1200 lbs., use only United States standard 120 Volts, 60 Hertz, one-phase electrical power, not too exceed 20 amps of current, operable in a standard test laboratory environment, with typical room temperature and humidity. System operation shall be digitally controlled with digital display to show basic test parameters, such as travel velocity and force. Controller may be separate or integrated into the computer data system described in 0, have programmable settings to stop motion of the test. At minimum, the controller shall stop motion of the test at programmable force levels. Data acquisition computer system and printer: Hardware and Software: A PC compatible computer system with Windows operating system shall be provided to display, capture, store, and process data, shall include all software necessary to conduct tests, display information during a test, capture data, store data, process data, and manage data, desktop style, include printer and monitor. Data Management: Data shall be captured and stored by the system for post processing, downloadable to standard PC compatible media or through direct link to PC compatible computer systems. Data shall be exported in a format compatible with the Microsoft Office suite of software, specifically Excel and Word softwares. Data Display: Units shall be indicated with all numerical display values and graphs. Displayed units shall be in both English (lb-force, seconds, inches) and SI (Newtons, seconds, millimeters) units. Both English and SI units do not need to be displayed simultaneously; however, units shall be selectable at anytime during test operations. Real-time Display: Data shall be displayed real-time during the test. Force data shall be presented in both digital values and as a graphical display during operation of the test, although not necessarily simultaneously. Graphical data display shall include, but not necessarily simultaneously: Stress as a function of strain, load as a function of position, stress as a function of position, load as a function of strain, load as a function of time, and position as a function of time. Post test data display shall include, but not necessarily simultaneously: Stress as a function of strain, load as a function of position, stress as a function of position, load as a function of strain, load as a function of time, and position as a function of time. Display panels shall be printable. A calibrated load cell compatible with the system capacities shall be provided. The load cell shall operate in compression and tension directions. An industry standard, calibration certificate shall be provided with the load cell. Fixtures and adapters: Fixtures conforming to American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) International, Designation: F 1157-04 shall be provided. Adapters, if! required, shall be provided connect fixtures to the frame. The follo wing fixtures shall be supplied: Tensile Fixture for Groups 1 and 2, pin diameter 0.250 in, per ASTM F 1157-2004, Figure 1.
