BBS 5 - Automatic Bending & Breaking Stress Tester

Standard Model

Designed to determine the fatigue behavior of coating materials
against temperature by force measurements under periodical bends.

The test chamber is cooled by Peltier-elements in combination with an additional circulation cooler for counter-cooling. Depending on the attached cooler a sample test temperature within the range of -46 to +60°C is possible. A chamber ventilator can be switched on to decrease the chamber temperature by a few degrees.

Consisting of:
Measuring and Control Unit:
measuring head with bending mechanism, automatic fixture and adjustment of test-plaques; test chamber cooled by solid-state components (Peltier-elements), chamber ventilator, touch-key panel with large LC-display visible up to 10 m distance for measured values and user guidance.

Programs:
• Standard-Program (cooling rate 1 K/min)
• RAPID-Program (cooling rate 2 K/min)
• SEARCH-Mode to find the approximated breaking-point
• USER-Definable-Program to set up program modifications

In connection with the BPACon-software:
• Permanent-Bending-Program for fatigue tests
• Glass-Transition-Temperature-Test
• Graphic display and evaluation of bending forces
• LIMS ability

Power supply: 230 V, 50/60 Hz, 450 W, EU-plug

BBS 5 H - Automatic Bending & Breaking Stress Tester

High-Temperature Model

The test chamber is cooled by Peltier-elements in combination with an additional circulation cooler for counter-cooling, regulated by a cooling circuit controller. Depending on the attached cooler a sample test temperature within the range of −46 to +100 °C is possible. A chamber ventilator can be switched on to decrease the chamber temperature by a few degrees.

Consisting of:
like BBS 5 - Standard Model but with an additional Cooling-Circuit-Controller for an extended temperature range without a cooling-circuit change

Power supply: 230 V, 50/60 Hz, 450 W, EU-plug

BBS 5 C - Automatic Bending & Breaking Stress Tester

Climatic Chamber Model

Designed for the use in a climatic chamber to determine the fatigue behavior of coating materials under the influence of temperature and humidity.

This instrument is build to allow measurements in a Climatic Chamber or alternatively in the BBS 5-basic unit itself. The sample test temperature is depending on the customers climatic chamber. The Peltier-cooling will be switched off.
For alternativ measurements in the basic unit the Peltier-cooling will be switched on after connecting a cooling circulator for counter-cooling. (Details see BBS 5 - Standard)

Consisting of:
like BBS 5 - Standard but with an external clamping device & test-rack and an elongated cable (2 m) for measuring head to allow tests in a closed chamber.

Power supply: 230 V, 50/60 Hz, 450 W, EU-plug

PC Software - BPACon (Windows®)

The Program includes the Permanent-Bending-Test software and is used to store / modify and display curves of force for
- Breakpoint-Tests
- Permanent-Bending-Tests
- Glass-Transition-Temperature-Tests

It replaces the serial printer and makes it is possible to start/stop the BPA/BBS by PC, as well as to load self-defined test-programs.

The progression in elasticity, plasticity and of course cracking will be displayed numerically or graphically in different scales. With special created curves of trends for bending or recovery force even very small, nearly not visible, breaks of the material can be found in an unknown high precision.
