About
The University of Southampton awarded a contract to Instron for the supply, installation, and commissioning of a 250kN servo-hydraulic test machine.
The machine was procured to fill the gap between the existing 100kN and 630kN test frames, enabling testing of samples that require more force than 100kN but are too small for the 630kN frame.
The system includes a t-slotted base, load cell, hydraulic grips, control system, and associated software and hardware interfaces, and is fatigue-rated for both static and dynamic testing.
The contract value was £140,060.
