Series 819 High-Rate Test Systems

High-rate dynamic tests are used to simulate automotive accidents, airplane crashes, munitions explosions and other high-impact events. These stiff, durable load frames and high-response servohydraulics apply forces from 5 to 500 kN (1 to 110 kip) and achieve velocities from 1 to 21 m/sec (39 to 830 in./sec).

Applications

  • Strain
  • Tensile
  • Environmental

Test Specimens

  • Metals
  • Composites
  • Plastics
  • Components
