Upgraded batch tester for materials testing
For large scale automation in materials testing, Lloyd Instruments has now launched a new upgraded version of its Batch Tester program that is quick and easy to use
The LRXPlus and LR10KPlus are universal materials testing machines that offer versatile materials testing capabilities for tensile, compression, flexural and friction testing applications at forces up to 5kN, and 10kN respectively.
They have been chosen for display from the Plus range, which features 9 instruments with capacities from 1kN to 150kN.
Both systems will be operating under PC control using the recently launched NexygenPlus materials test and control software, whose extensive capabilities includes test creation, data collection, reporting and exporting test data, video and still picture capture, test data security and audit trails, and test automation and customisation.

The EX800Plus extensometer accessory, to be fitted to the LR10KPlus machine, allows the accurate extension measurement of materials such as semi-rigid plastics, elastomers and rubbers.
With extensive applications in the packaging and printing industry, Lloyd Instruments will also be showing its FTPlus friction tester, introduced in 2006.
The FTPlus is a dedicated, high accuracy, bench- mounted single lead screw instrument, which conforms to the requirements of the key friction testing standards, ASTM D1894, ISO 8295 and TAPPI T549.
The FTPlus can be used for measurements of static and kinetic coefficients of friction, peak load and average load.
The Davenport MFI-10 melt flow indexer is an intelligent modular system, which allows fully automatic measurement of the melt flow rate of a polymer.
It can be used both by resin manufacturers and processors such as extruders and injection moulders to measure the melt flow rate and melt volume rate of thermoplastics before use in the manufacturing process.
Equipped with an Auto Flow Rate Timer, the MFI-10 will be controlled using Nexygen-Davenport control and analysis software which also produces test graphs, results tables and batch statistics. Request a free brochure from Lloyd Instruments ...
