The 152-50 Compression Tester allows you to test the compressive strength of shipping containers, larger pallets and large bulk containers. The Model 152-50 is a servo-hydraulic compression tester designed to evaluate the compressive strength of individual shipping containers as well as larger pallets, unit loads, and large bulk containers. The Model 152-50 utilizes Lansmont’s TouchTest Compression 3 controller which provides the versatility to perform standard compression tests while also accommodating more complex user defined Load and Deflection Profiles that better simulate real world stacking conditions. The standard system has a platen size that is 60 in. (152 cm) square with a maximum opening of 84 in. (213 cm). Optional extended platens and larger openings are available to accommodate larger test items. Maximum force capability is 50,000 lbs. (222 kN). The Model 152-50 can be installed on any reinforced concrete floor (ground level recommended). The low profile baseplate design makes it easier and safer to load and unload large test items. Features highlights • TouchTest Control software, providing Constant Deflection Rate, Ramp to Load and Release, • Stacking Simulation, and Deflection profile test modes. • Top-load force application, providing a more realistic simulation. • Low-profile baseplate, adding convenience when loading and unloading test specimens from the machine. Specification highlights Max Force: 50,000 lbs. (222 kN) Platen Size: 60 in. x 60 in. (152 cm x 152 cm) Max Opening: 84 in. (213 cm)
