The Hot Shell Tensile Tester VHTD is a comprehensive device designed to test the tensile strength of materials under heat. It features integrated loading, heating, and sensing mechanisms controlled by a microcontroller or PLC and displays results on an LCD screen. Primarily, it measures hot tensile strength but can be adapted for cold tensile strength with additional attachments. The tester is powered by either a 230V or 110V electrical supply and supports various communication interfaces, including RS485 and Ethernet. It complies with BIS standards and comes with necessary accessories like a jaw set and calibration certificate.
