The HUT type C is a 6-column tensile testing machine for wire ropes and strands. The load frame configuration of the unit uses servo-controlled hydraulic. The unit has a 600-kN to 1,000-kN capacity.
The machine has a dual-zone testing unit that lessens the setup time, the tension on top, and compression on the bottom. Its standards features include fasteners, rebar, chain, welds, castings, and stranded steel wires.
The ergonomic load frame of the unit has a longer jaw face for the tensile test of stranded steel wires. In order to adjust the testing space, a lead screw driven crosshead is on the unit. The 6-column load frame incorporates the 3-position crosshead, specimen positioning, guide columns, and base beams. For a higher throughput, a quick return hydraulic valve is on the unit.
