A solid understanding of the properties of materials is essential for technical and scientific professions. This knowledge helps select the suitable material, monitor production and processing and ensure the requirements in terms of a component. The materials test provides the necessary data in a reproducible and precisely quantified manner. The tensile test, bending test and hardness test are all part of classic destructive materials testing. The range of experiments with overs tensile tests and Brinell hardness tests in the base unit. Compression, bending, shear and cupping tests can be conducted using the accessories. Disk and coil springs can also be tested. The experimental unit has been developed specifically for experiments in small groups and is characterised by a clear design, simple operation and accessories that are easy to exchange.
