A Digi-ten Tester, also known as a universal tester, materials testing

machine or materials test frame, is used to test the tensile

strength and compressive strength of materials.
Tensile testing machine is named Digi-Ten Tester.
Several variations are in use Components include:

• Load frame - Usually consisting of strong

supports for the machine. Some small
machines have a single support.
• Load cell - A force transducer 100 kg
measuring the load with higher accuracy.
Periodic calibration is usually required by
governing regulations or quality system.
• Cross head - A movable cross head
(crosshead) is controlled to move up or
down. Usually this is at a constant speed:
sometimes called a constant rate of
extension (CRE) machine. Some
machines can program the crosshead
speed or conduct cyclical testing, testing
at constant force, testing at constant
deformation, etc. Electromechanical,
servo-hydraulic, linear drive, and
resonance drive are used.
• Means of measuring extension or
deformation - Many tests require a
measure of the response of the
test specimen to the movement of the
cross head. Extensometers are
sometimes used.
• Output device - A means of providing the
test result is needed. Digi-ten digital
display and a computer interface for
analysis and printing.
• Test fixtures, specimen holding jaws, and
related sample making equipment are
called for in many test methods.
 TENSILE TESTING
Principles of Tensile Testing:

Three ways to carryout tensile test:

1. CRE: Rate of increase of specimen length is uniform with time (the load
measuring mechanism moves a negligible distance).

2. CRL: Rate of increase of the load is uniform with time and rate of extension
is dependent on the load-elongation characteristics of the specimen.

3. CRT: Pulling one clamp at a uniform rate and the load is applied through the
other clamp. Which moves appreciably to actuate a load measuring
mechanism so that the rate of increase of either load or elongation is usually
not constant.

With CRE principle, maximum load

reaches before 3 sec., and rest of the time
the specimen remains at higher load
(initialy very high rate of loading).
For CRL, initial extension was very low
and afterwards very high extension with
small time (very high extension rate)
So, nature of the curves of same specimen
under two different principles
will be different.
If specimen length increase in a
CRE machine, the rate of loading will decrease.
