Universal Testing Machine UP 2000 PK-4

In the Material and Component Research Center (MFZ) in Gießen, powerful testing machines are available in a modern test hall for experimental component and material tests on the topic of joint details of reinforced concrete structures, which are supported by complex calculations using the finite element method. The mechanical principles developed in this way led to new or optimized design methods.

With the UP2000 PK-4DH, FORM+TEST can provide suitable testing technology for such tasks to gain precise and repeatable results.

Application:

  • precise, repeatable and demanding testing tasks
  • material and component tests
  • research and development
  • quality control

Test Fields:

  • universities, building materials and materials testing
  • structural engineering, building construction, civil engineering and bridge construction

Design Size:

  • static test force: +/-2000 kN
  • dynamic test force: +/- 1600 kN

Accuracy:

  • class 0.5 according to DIN EN ISO 7500-1

Specimens:

  • tensile tests specimens from wood and fibre materials
  • compression tests on concrete elements
  • high-performance materials, prefabricated constructions
  • innovative supporting structures with different materials (e.g. hybrid constructions)

Configuration:

  • universal test frame UP 2000 PK-4DH with passive hydraulically clamped crosshead and hydraulic adjustment
  • extra rigid 4 column frame
  • single test cylinder EPZ-H 2000
  • control station type RS-C30-N-PC with DIGIMAXX® C-30
