Applicability and range of Application
This special type of Testing Machine FCT-2000 is mainly designed to facilitate the user to test rails for transverse / bending type of load. It is often necessary to test the weld joints of rails for bending strength. This can be achieved with this machine by laying the rail on two bending supports and applying a load with bending pane at the welded joint, till it breaks or covers the required deflection in bending.
By using extra accessories, if ordered separately many other tests like compression, shear etc can be conducted with this machine. The load stabilizer, if ordered separately, enables tests of constant load. The machine meets the accuracy requirements of IS 1828-1975
