The operator sets the trigger value, target deformation (travel distance into the sample) and the test
speed using the Normal menu screen:
TEST: NORMAL
TRIGGER: XXX.X g
DEFORMATION:XXX.X
mm
SPEED: X.XX mm /s
Figure III.6
A normal test performs a single compression cycle when the operator depresses the start button.
Beginning at the position where the trigger load is measured, the probe descends at the programmed
test speed to the target deformation, then returns immediately to home/starting position. Return
travel speed is 4.5mm/s. During the test the running screen is seen as shown below:
TEST: NORMAL
DEFORMATION:XXX.X mm
LOAD: XXXX.X g
Figure III.7
Deformation and Load will remain live displays during the test.
Test results are shown on the reporting screen:
PEAK LOAD: XXXX.X
g
DEF@PEAK:
XXX.X mm
WORK:
XXXX.X mJ
FINAL LOAD: XXXX.X g
TEMP:
XXX.X F
Figure III.8
Peak load is reported as the maximum measured load during the test.
Deformation at peak is the distance to which the sample was compressed when the peak load occurred.
Work is defined as the energy required to deform a sample. It is calculated by measuring the force
vs. distance to compress or pull apart the sample. Work done is reported in milli-Joules.
Final load is the load at maximum deformation. Often the peak load and final load will be the same
value.
A new feature is the display of adhesive force and adhesiveness in the NORMAL mode. The POST
SPEED of the probe will be the GLOBAL post speed value.
Adhesiveness and Adhesive Force
- These values are measured as the energy and force required
to separate a probe from the sample on the return stroke.
NORMAL mode Final screen
- After the probe has returned to the START position, the display
will show the test results for ADHESIVE FORCE and ADHESION (ADHESIVENESS). Since
only four lines are available on the display, rotate the Select Knob to scroll down to observe the
added parameters as shown in the following figure.
