Apparatus Construction

  • Cabinet: Double-walled structure with a stainless steel inner chamber and a mild steel outer body, duly painted for durability.

  • Inner Chamber Dimensions: Approx. 33 cm × 46 cm × 26 cm (W × H × D)

  • Observation Door: Fitted with a full-view glass window to observe specimens during testing.

Performance & Controls

  • Temperature Range: Ambient to 200 ± 3°C at the sensor point.

  • Controller: PID controller with dual digital display for set and process values.

  • Air Circulation: Designed for 8–20 air changes per hour, ensuring uniform temperature distribution.

  • Air Inlet/Outlet: Air enters from the bottom, flows over the test pieces, and exits near the top for efficient circulation.

  • Air Flow Meter: Monitors and controls airflow rate.

  • Optional Accessory: Air Compressor & Laser height gauge (available on request).

Testing Features

  • Grips: Provided at the top of the oven to hang up to two specimens conveniently.

  • Weights: A complete set of calibrated weights (up to 1 kg) supplied with each unit for load application.

  • Elongation Measurement: Equipped with external non-contact distance measurement laser height gauge to read elongation directly without opening the chamber door, maintaining test conditions.

  • Sample Capacity: Up to four samples can be hung, but two are recommended to avoid contact between weights.

  • Timer: Built-in timer (up to 99 minutes) as per the latest IS amendment.

Key Benefits

  • Accurate elongation testing via laser height gauge

  • Dual-display PID temperature control

  • Safe, visible testing through glass window

  • Optional laser measurement for precision

  • Durable, industrial-grade construction
