    Material testing

    Hello,

    I need Material testing equipment for my project to find out the characteristics of a certain material (mine is brass). I did Google lots of sites like tensiletest, but not sure if equipments they are providing are suitable for my purpose.
    So please help me??

    Thanks,
    Kitty

    Re: Material testing

    The machine that you linked is a tensile testing machine. I would assume it is what you need.

      What characteristics are you trying to determine? Chemical composition, melting point, tensile strength, hardness, ductibility, density? It's been many years since I've been involved in this, but here are a few ideas.

      If this is a real-life need I'd contact the manufacturers reps. At one time most of them were very knowledgeable on the actual capabilities of their product.

      If this is a student exercise, I'd determine the expected values for the characteristics you want to measure, then check the specs of the equipment. There is no point in specifying a machine designed to test the flex point of a rail when you are working with something the size of a toothpick.

      For a number of reasons, both health and personal, I will no longer be active on this board. Any PMs asking for assistance will be ignored.

      Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amateurs built the ark. Professionals built the Titanic.

        I have some 24 volt switching power supply from my battery testing machine that I modified for a different switching power supply that is more suited for my new application and new purpose for testing BMS protection boards

        Some New Preliminary testing of 21700 Tool battery cells to 2.00
        by sam_sam_sam
        I decided to try a new approach to testing unbalanced battery cells with my battery testing machine that has more graph curve information and it looks like if you discharge them to 2.00 volts if the battery voltage does not come back to over 3.something volts you have some kind of issue with that battery cell

        I going to do more testing and see if is the case or not

        More to come later

        I just bought a SkyRc MC3000 battery testing machine very interesting device temp
        by sam_sam_sam
        I just bought this device that came in the mail today I put a set of 4 brand new 21700 high current battery on the charger

        The charger has four individual temperature sensors for each battery cell
        The bar graph for each individual battery cell is very primitive but will give you a good idea of how each battery cell is preforming and I find something odd I put on the individual battery testing machine that gives more details of the charging/discharging curves but it will be quicker to just charge and discharge battery cells that do not have any issues

        Or test...

        Creating a Testing Jig for TV Repairs -
        by KYBOSH
        I was watching a YT episode from Nick's TV Repair and he literally had a test jig comprised of all the internal components of a TV on a wooden board.
        I thought that was amazingly smart as I always thought that TV repair businesses had a room of various actual TVs they would use to do testing.
        My question is how was he able to connect this generic looking external display to the jig? The connectors are intentionally covered up by cardboards so we cant see it but i wonder if its a custom in-house device or something that could be purchased online?
