Tensile Tester
The tensile tester is a hydraulic hand pump machine that is
used to test fusion joint coupons. The coupon is loaded into the
machine and the hand pump is used to pressure a hydraulic
cylinder that pulls the fusion coupon to test it.
IMPORTANT:
The tensile tester should only be used to perform
tests on coupons that were created from fusions of like pipes.
The tester has a gauge and DataLogger® port on the machine.
These items are used for reference and are not considered part of
the qualitative testing process.
