RESEARCH STANDARD…
OUR EQUIPMENT ENABLES US TO:
- Conduct tests in keeping with ASTM, ISO and DIN standards
- Carry out tests on actual or test pieces in the same conditions as your actual systems and/or test bars.
TESTS STANDARDS :
- 4 balls
- Falex
- Timken
- SRV
- Amsler
- FZG
RESEARCH TRIBOMETERS :
Our modular CETR research tribometers can reproduce an array of contacts, including:
- Actual pieces
- Pin-on-disk
- Plate-on-plate
- Disk-on-disk
- Rolling-sliding
While controlling, with a high degree of precision, the temperature, forces (or contact pressure), coupling and speed.
SOME TYPICAL CAPABILITIES
- Operates from -40°C to 1,100°C
- Measures electrical contact resistance (determines HD, EHD and mixed systems and limitations)
- Acoustic measurement of friction
- Abrasion volume tracking
- Load and pressure control
Any specific arrangement can be studied on request.
TRIBOMETERS DESIGN
As part of our tests, InS can make our own tools.
Examples include:
- Tribometer for examining chains
- Tribometer for testing screw connection, seizing and tapping
