Accessories for a stress relaxation system

For a complete stress relaxation system there are other accessories also needed besides the cell ageing oven and the relaxation rigs – the amplifier box is one example.

  • Amplifier box, EB 02.14-x – Connects the rigs to a computer for acquisition of the force and temperature data. x = number of rigs that can be connected. There are amplifier boxes available for 2, 4, 6, 8 or 12 rigs per box.

  • Default load cell 600 N, EB 02.17 – Samples ø13 mm, for Shore A up to 80°.

  • Load cell 1 200 N, EB 02.18 – Samples ø13 mm, for Shore A up to 90°.

  • Load cell 2 000 N, EB 02.19 – For bigger samples, or harder samples from products.

  • Extension cord for load cells, EB 02.05.1 – 2.5 m, for other placement of amplifier box than directly behind the cell oven.

  • Extension cord for temperature sensor, EB 02.05.2 – 2.5 m, for other placement of amplifier box than directly behind the cell oven.

  • All-in-one Windows computer, ED 04 – For the Relaxation software, EC 05. Minimum i5 processor, 8 GB RAM, 20-inch monitor, keyboard, mouse. The voltage is 110–230 V and the frequency is 50/60 Hz.

  • Software for stress relaxation testing, EC 05 – The software evaluates results from relaxation tests according to ISO 3384 and ISO 6914.
    This software must be combined with a license, EC 05-x. Purchase one license per rig you want to use for testing. The price per license is decreasing after a certain quantity, available in following steps: 8, 16 and 32.

  • Uninterruptible power supply (UPS), ED 06 – To eliminate disturbances from power failures up to 30 minutes. Only available for 230 V, 50-60 Hz, 1000 VA double conversion. The computer and the amplifier box are recommended to be connected to a UPS power back up.

  • Container and pressure plate, EB 02.01 – For measurements in liquid for temperatures up to 200 °C (only for EB 02 rig).

  • Test piece holder for the relaxation rig, EB 02.26 – For ageing other samples simultaneously as the relaxation test. Click image to enlarge.
  • Stand for 4 relaxation rigs, EB 02.23 – For secure placement on the laboratory bench. It can also be used when performing relaxation tests in ambient temperature. Click image to enlarge.
  • Fixture for bending test, EB 02.29 – With 3-point loading, the test fixture is developed from ISO 899-2 and enables a type of stress relaxation test for plastic materials.
