High Temperature 8 Bank Shear Tester Cheminstruments SS-HT-8

Description Cheminstruments SS-HT-8

Getting precise measurements every time with high temperature shear tests is easy with the ChemInstruments SS-HT-8 High Temperature 8 Bank Shear Tester. It performs a wide variety of shear tests, including PSTC-7 Procedure A & C, TLMI Test No. 7, FINAT test No. 8, and ASTM D 3654. The Shear Tester also performs Procedure C for holding power of pressure sensitive tapes. Switches on the standard model can withstand temperatures up to 400°F (204°C). It can also perform shear tests in humidity chambers or freezers.

Shear Stand

• Rugged construction, capable of withstanding the abuse of the production environment
• Two component design allows the switch unit to be separated from the timer control box
• High temperature, 8′ long (2.5m) cable interfaces the two components
• Designed to use standard, 2″ x 3″ (50mm x 75mm) format, test panels
• Capable of holding panels of various thicknesses, up to 1/4″ (6mm)
• Mechanical switches can be calibrated to trip when using weights from 100 to 1,000 grams
• Adjustable feet allow the user to level the testing plane
• Panel rack is marked for the standard 178° back tilt, as specified by most shear test methods
• Adjustable angle panel rack allows the user to easily change the test angle from 178° to 90°
• Shear stand operating temperature range 20° – 400° F (-6° – 204° C)
• Shears are designed to be used with weights from 100gr to 1000gr
• Any weight which is larger than the 1000gr requires the S-EXT(Shear Extension) accessory
• The largest weight that can be safely used with the shear stand is 3000gr

Timer Box

• Compact and easy to use
• Easy-to-read, 0.5″ (1 cm) LCD timer display is set to time in increments of 1/10 of a minute
• Timer box operating temperature range 32° – 150° F (0° – 70° C)
• Timer box has universal input voltage from 85-265 VAC (50/60 Hz)
• Optional thermocouple accessory records failure temperature
