1 Safety and security devices

Safe working practices should be observed at all times when using the equipment described in this manual.
Only suitably qualified or trained personnel should be entrusted to use any equipment using high voltages.
Equipment requiring specialist knowledge should be used by personnel trained in its use. It is most important that the contents
of this manual is studied and understood before proceeding to use any equipment in a working situation.
The machine is equipped with the following protection devices:
Overload protection valve: this valve triggers the pump cut-out when the pressure exceeds 650 bar.
Electric protection of full scale: this feature interferes when the load exceeds the full scale.
Piston travel limit switch: operates when the maximum vertical displacement of the upper crosshead is exceeded.
2 Functions of the machine

For tensile tests on steel rods up to 40 mm dia. and steel plate up to 75 30 mm size.
For compression tests up to 200kN cap. using the accessory 70-C807/1 (models 70-C807/C) or 70-C902/9 (models 70-C810/
C) and up to 2.000 kN using the accessory
70-C820/1 (models 70-C820/C).
For transverse and bending test using the accessories
70-C807/2, 70-C807/3, 70-C810/2, 70-C820/3 for models 70-C807/C, 70-C810/C, 70-C820/C (see page 272 of general
catalogue).
3 Operating principles
The lower end of the steel rebar specimen is placed in the lower grippers and the upper end in the upper mobile grippers of
the testing frame.
During operation the hydraulic pump located in the control console increases the pressure in the cylinder assembly of the
machine and moves the mobile part of the frame and the upper gripper, applying load to the specimen up to failure which is
recorded on the display unit.
The compression test follows the same operating principle with the exception of the specimen which is placed on a
compression platen (see accessory 70-C807/1).

6 Initial start-up
6.1 Tensile test
6.1.1 Mounting of the gripping heads
The machine is supplied with 3 sets of gripping jaws:
-
C807/10 Gripping jaws for flat specimens - maximum area: 30 75 mm and round specimens up to 8 mm diameter.
(Minimum thickness or diameter: 5 mm).
C807/12 Gripping jaws for round specimens of 9 to 19 mm diameter.
C807/14 Gripping jaws for round specimens from 19 to 40 mm diameter.

Furthermore the gripping heads are supplied with 2 sets of wear platens - reference C807/16 and C807/18 - which
are placed between the gripping jaws and the conical seat of the gripping heads.
These wear platens must always remain within the dimensions of and must never protrude above or below the
side plates when grips are closed, so as not to stress one part of the gripping jaw only, causing possible damage.
6.1.2 For this reason, depending on the diameter or the thickness of the specimen, it is always necessary to use one
set of the two wear platens available as shown in the table, otherwise the seat of the gripping jaws may be
irreparably damaged.

6.1.3 The machine is delivered with one set of gripping jaws already mounted to the gripping heads. In order to replace
them, proceed as follows:
6.1.4 Remove completely the four screws (fig.28). Put the tool supplied with the machine into the hole provided in the
side plates and move laterally to remove either the wearing plate or the gripper (fig. 29, 30, 31, 32, 33).
6.1.5 Replace if necessary, the wearing plate depending upon the size of the specimen as mentioned in 6.1.2.
Place the new grippers provided that the contact faces between the wearing plates and the grippers have been
previously greased using the special grease supplied with the machine.
Important note. Possible noises or creating occurring during the test could be caused by insufficient greasing.
Grease immediately the parts as above indicated to avoid possible seizing and damage. Only use the molybdenum
grease as supplied with the machine.
6.2 Changing the vertical daylight ( Models C807/C only)
The machine is usually delivered adjusted to the minimum vertical daylight which is about 100 mm corresponding to the
distance between the two crossheads holding the grippers. This distance added to the piston stoke of 250 mm make
it possible to test the most common size of steel rebar specimens which are cut to the usual length of 400 mm approx.
The vertical daylight (or better the distance between the two crossheads holding the grippers) can however be easily
increased in steps of 50 mm up to 500 mm. The maximum distance obtainable during the test is 500 + 250 = 750 mm.
To change the vertical daylight proceed as follow:
6.2.1 Switch on the power pump and move the frame upward by pressing the top button of the keyboard (fig. 17 and 18)
6.2.2 Place the two rods delivered with the machine in the position shown in fig. 19 and 20 which has the purpose of
blocking in position the upper crosshead during the vertical adjustment operations.
6.2.3 Unscrew the four bushes as shown in fig. 21 and 22.
6.2.4 Remove the two half threaded rings from each column as shown in fig. 23.
The two half rings are marked 1 - 1, 2 - 2 etc. Do not mix half ring of different marks.
6.2.5 Move the frame downwards and remove the two half rings from the lower end of each column. (see fig. 25)
6.2.6 Move upwards to decrease or downwards to increase the vertical daylight and correctly place in the proper housing
the two half rings (not threaded) for each column in the desired position (steps of 50 mm). See fig 24 and 25.
6.2.7 Move the frame upwards until the upper crosshead also moves upwards.

6.2.8 Replace the two half a threaded rings in position for each columns finding the right position by the locating pins
(see fig. 26)
6.2.9 Screw the bushes on by hand (see fig. 27)
Important note: This bushes have to be tightened again by hand during the first tension test to assure the best
tightening. This procedure should be followed when the vertical daylight is changed.
The machine is now ready to operate.
7 Fault finding
7.1 Excessive noise of the pump
Excessive noise of the pump indicates that oil is missing in the tank. Refill and control oil level.
If noise continues, check suction filter inside the tank and if it is clogged, request exchange from Controls (see fig. 34,
35, 36, 37)
7.2 Noise coming from the gripping system
Noises emitted from the gripping system are due to a lack of lubrication.
Grease gripping jaws as described (fig. 33)
7.3 Excessive oil temperature (beyond 55 to 60 C)
If the oil temperature exceed 55 to 60 C, it means that the cooler thermostat is deteriorated or that the electric motor which
drives the air cooling fan, does not work. To reach the thermostat remove the front panel and using a screwdriver rotate
back or forward the central knob to find the typical "Clik" of the electric contact. If this does not happen it means that the
thermostat is broken and has to be substituted.
7.4 The servovalve does not regulate the loading speed
The cause of an imperfect load control is to be sought in an imperfect function of the servovalve. Replace the oil filter
located beside the servovalve as already specified in pos. 7.1.
The filter has to be ordered to Controls.
7.5 Figures missing on the digital display
Missing figures on the digital display are due to a fault of the electronic circuit. Remove the faulty part and ship to Controls
for repair or ask for the visit of our Service Dept.
7.6 Slipping of specimens in the gripping system
This phenomenon can have different causes, i.e.:
Excessive wear of gripping jaws (replacement)
Lack of graphite grease (grease in the described way)
The wear platens are not adequate for the diameter or the thickness of the specimen (see list of spare parts and
proceed to their replacement). (see 6.2.1)
Gripping jaw not suitable to the dimensions of the specimens (use different set of gripping jaws).
7.7 The machine does not develop any pressure
This may have different causes:
Losses in the hydraulic circuit. In this case, it is recommended to check all the hydraulic connections (external)
and then, by removing the rear or the front panel of the control console, the internal hydraulic connections and
tighten if necessary.
Losses in the hydraulic pump.
In this case, request instruction from Controls to be able to take the necessary steps.
In case all the above described recommendations should not bring about the expected success, please contact
our After Sales Dept.

Electric extensometer
Testing on steel
70-C961 Coaxial extensometer for tensile strength testing
Introduction
Extensometers used for measuring the elongation of specimens in tension, particularly in the
case of steel or brittle materials, are only able to detect strain during the first stage of the test, or rather, while the brittle materials
conserve their elasticity.
With such traditional devices tensile strength tests cannot be carried out to the specimens breaking point, thereby forcing the
operator to intervene during the test to disconnect the extensometer itself from the specimen or to activate expensive and
sophisticated release mechanisms.
Other optical systems are able to detect breaking point strains, but are extremely expensive
and complex.
This simple and economic system, the result of our experience in this field, fully satisfies these
requirements because:
it is applied directly to the specimen
it remains connected until failure
it measures extension with high precision in the elastic and plastic stage
with the appropriate simple adjustments, it can be connected to almost all testing machines
it avoids markings on the test pieces
Description
The extensometer is basically made from three separate tubular sections, joined telescopically to one another. The middle
section, delimited by the larger diameter, determines the measuring base which, as is well-known, must be 5 times the
diameter of the specimen (in the case of failure point measurements). The two end sections consist of two mechanisms for
gripping the specimen. One carries the electrical extensometer, the other checks it.
Uses
The extensometer is fixed to the specimen prior to testing, an operation that takes only a few seconds. The specimen is placed
in the machines grips and the electrical transducer cable is connected to the measuring and/or display system; everything
is now ready for testing.
The electronic transducer works on a release mechanism which means that, once failure has been achieved, the two end
sections remain attached to the specimen portion.
Given its construction in three mechanically unconnected parts, the extensometer suffers no stress. It is however vital that
the machines grips hold onto the fractured specimen.
The extensometer is then mechanically and electrically disconnected, ready for use on another specimen.
Available models
As already mentioned, the diameter of the test piece is used as the measuring base.
The table below indicates which models are available for the structural steel sector or for all
steel within a 40% strain limit.

10 Maintenance
For an efficient maintenance of the machine, it is important to carry out periodically the following operations:
10.1 Periodically clean the tension and compression testing spaces. In particular, clean the gripping jaws and take off
any scale which may fall from the specimen during the tensile test. If a thorough cleaning procedure should not
be possible, it is recommended to entirely dismantle the gripping system and clean it with a solvent, bearing in mind
that the gripping parts then have to be greased with graphite grease.
10.2 Periodically grease the points of the hydraulic control of the gripping system.
10.3 Check the oil level and refill, if necessary, with DEXRON II ATF FLUID hydraulic oil (see table below)
10.4 Check the alignment of the machine and carry out the necessary corrections by means of the adjustment screws.
(This is to match possible movements in the concrete foundation).
10.5 Replace hydraulic oil every 400 hours operation

12 UNIVERSAL WINSOFT TESTING UWT 8 PROGRAM

General description of the system
The electronic system consists of an electronic command and control unit installed inside the control console which is
connected to a PC through a serial port. The UWT 8 software is installed in the PC. This command and control unit consists
of a board with two micro-processors which manages all the functions of the machine, the acquisition of signals coming from
the load cell, the encoder and the extensometers. The main characteristics are the following:
Input for load cell and extensometers, 32,000 point resolution, 10 Vdc
Input for potentiometric transducer, 32,000 point resolution, 10 Vdc
Input for bi-directional encoder, 5 Vdc
Four output ports pilot the electro-valves and the pump motor.
Analogical output port with 14 bit resolution to pilot proportional valve
RS 232 serial port for PC connection
The
-
PC is supplied as standard with the machine and has the following minimum configuration:
2.4 GHz processor
Hard disk with 40 Gbyte capacity
512 Mbyte RAM memory
Floppy disc port
1 available RS232 serial port
17 LCD colour monitor
Operative system Windows XP
Colour A4 printer with USB connection.
The PC must be considered as an integral part of the machine and we strongly recommend that other applications are installed
which could have an adverse effect on the operative system. In particular do not activate the screen saver and do not scan
for virus whilst the program is running.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Controls software uses the full stop as the decimal point (whilst windows uses a comma by default), this
parameter is factory set and therefore should not be changed.
However, if a PC different to the one supplied with the machine is used, it is vital that the decimal point is set as a full stop instead
of comma (in Control panel of Windows).
UWT 8 PROGRAM
The UWT 8 program is written to run in Windows XP or 2000. Via an electronic unit installed in the console of the machine
connected to the PC serial port, it allows the management of electro-hydraulic actuators so as to drive the tensile testing
machine, read and elaborate data from the load cell and displacement transducers, filing of such data as single or multiple
tests in Controls format or ASCII format for eventual re-elaboration with commercial or customised programs for personalised
certification and statistical analysis often used in the modern testing laboratory.
SYSTEM START UP
To correctly start up the system proceed as follows:
1) Ensure all the connections have been made.
2) Switch on the PC, wait for Widows to start up and the automatic start up of UWT 8. The time this takes will depend upon
the characteristics of the PC.
3) Once the program has started the main menu will appear with the following warm up window:

Now the control console should be switched on by raising the mains switch on the front panel of the console.
4)
After about 5 seconds, during which the hardware carries out a series of checks and warm up and activates the bidirectional communications with the PC, the warm up window will disappear. If the window does not disappear, switch
off the console and switch it on again without exiting the program. The disappearance of the warm up widows indicates
the correct communications between the PC and the machine.
5)
It is also possible to force the disappearance of the warm up window (JUMP command) but this does not guarantee the
correct communications set up between the machine and the PC.
Once the program has been successfully started it is possible to access the successive menus of the program, following the
instruction given in this manual.
IMPORTANT: NEVER SWITCH OFF THE CONSOLE WHILST THIS PROGRAM IS WORKING. IF THIS IS DONE THE
SYCRINSATION OF THE SERIAL COMMUNICATIONS IS LOST AND THE MACHINE MAY CONTINUE TO RUN WITHOUT
CONTROL. IF THIS HAPPENS, REPEAT THE START UP PROCEDURE.
AVAILABLE MENUS
The choices available on the main menu are as follows:
Tensile test on steel bars; rounds, flats and general.
Cold bending test on metal samples
Compression/Flexure tests on concrete samples.
Manual tests/calibration.
Machine settings.
On line help to display instruction manual.
Information about Controls.
Exit from Windows.
Click on the desired icon to access the menu.

PERFORMING TENSILE TESTS
By clicking on this icon access is given to the menu for performing tensile test following the procedures given in EN10002
and ASTM A370.
This menu allows tests on rounds, flats and non standard form bars. By rounds we mean those with cylindrical format which
may be gained by turning round or square bars cut from steel bar elements. The round bars may be smooth (special steel or
construction steel) or ribbed (as used in reinforced concrete). Flat samples have a regular rectangular section whilst other
sections are considered non standard.
The page basically consists of two parts: on the right the descriptive and administrative part, on the left the operative part.
The descriptive and administrative part consists of the description of the client, the test centre, sample and certificate
identification. The certificate number field must be completed otherwise the program will not allow the test to be filed. These
fields must be completed if you wish file and then print the test reports which must contain this information.
The operative part includes the dimensions and description of the sample, the test parameters and the command keys of the
machine.
The upper part of the screen is dedicated to the selection of the elongation measuring device which may be by encoder or
extensimeter.
Encoder: is a device with optical scanning fixed on the test frame. It reads the movement of the mobile cross beam of the frame
on which the upper grips holding the sample are mounted. Therefore, the movement of the upper cross beam corresponds
to the elongation of the sample being tested. However it should be noted that the measurement is total, that is it includes any
movement of the grips during initial gripping of the sample, any eventual slipping of the sample and elastic deformation of
the frame during the test. For this reason the elongation read with the encoder is not to be considered correct.
Extensimeter: is a measurement device fitted with linear displacement transducer which is fitted directly on the sample during
the test. Controls supplies two types of extensimeter:
-
Coaxial extensimeter, which allows extremely accurate readings with high resolution of only the elongation during the
complete test cycle up to failure. Each extensimeter is characterised by the range of bar diameters it can be fitted to.
Controls has a series of coaxial extensimeter to cover all diameter bars that can be tested on Controls tensile testing
machine from 5.5 mm up to 36 mm.

The available models are:

C961/A1 from 5.5 to 11 mm
C961/B1 from 11 to 18 mm
C961/C1 from 17.5 to 26 mm
C961/D1 from 25 to 36 mm
Universal extensimeter, to be used only up to the yield point, with adjustable gauge length (50 to 600 mm); mod 70-C954/C.
The central part of the screen shows the data relative to the dimensions of the sample. The correct input of this data is vital
in order to obtain correct test results. Just below these, a number of optional parameters are presented for data elaboration
which may be activated by simply clicking on the box to the left of each option.
These are:
Rt (N/mm) = unit limit load of total elongation
Ae (%) = percentage elongation at yield point.
At (%) = total percentage elongation at failure.
Ag (%) = non proportional percentage elongation at maximum load Fm.
Agt (%) = proportional percentage elongation at maximum load Fm.
Rp (x.xx %) = unit proportional deviation load.
Su (mm) = minimal cross section area upon failure.
Z (%) = percentage coefficient of pressing.
E (mm) = elastic modulus.
The lower part of the screen shows the following commands:
-
PUMP: to start or stop the pump. The led to the right of the command indicates the status (lit = on, unit = off).
CELL: this window display shows the load read by the load cell fitted on the machine. The zero command can be used
to zero this reading.
START TEST: used to start the automatic test cycle.
PAUSE: this command, which is only active during the automatic test phase, allows the temporary interruption of the load
gradient, maintaining the load constant. The test can be re-started from the pause point up to failure. It is also possible
to set this function so as the pause occurs automatically at a pre-set value of percentage elongation of the sample.
SETTING: this command, which is only active when no test is being run, allows access to the test parameters setting
menu.
GRAPH: allows display of the load/deformation graph which also shows the test results.
MULTI-GRAPH: allows simultaneous display of two graphs allowing the operator to set the axis scales. Each graph allows
the simultaneous display of two curves for a total of four curves.
TABLES: allows the display of a table of the data relative to the load/deformation curve.
OPEN: to recall the file of a previously saved single test.
SAVE: gives access to the filing menu with different options.
PRINT: gives access to a menu so as to print the last test performed, relative graph or multi-graph and tables; or to print
a report relative to a group of tests (multiple certificate).
HELP: gives access to the instruction manual on line.
ESC: returns to main menu.

OPERATIONAL SEQUENCE FOR TENSILE TESTS ON ROUND SAMPLES USING THE ENCODER
1.
Start the pump by clicking on the relative command. If the pump does not start, check that the red emergency button on
the front panel of the console is released. The pump must be kept continuously during the tests. In this way the hydraulic
oil in the circuit is kept at its optimum temperature. Therefore, we recommend that the pump is started a few minutes before
testing if the machines has not been used for some time. When the pump is running it is possible to activate the upper
and lower grips via the remote control.
2.
Select the elongation measurement device, in this case encoder. Select sample type, round. Then insert the mass and
length Lt of the sample. The software will calculate the linear mass of the sample, the diameter and the equivalent
sectional area.
3.
Input the descriptive data as requested, the administrative data (client, testing centre, etc.), the identification data
(number, certificate number, etc.) and the standards and technical responsibility. Naturally, to run a test it is not necessary
to input all the information mentioned above, the only vital data is that of the type and dimensions of the sample. The other
data are however important for the printing and filing of the tests.
4.
Make reference marks on the sample and enter the distance between these marks Lo in the appropriate field. If
reference marks are not used (in case of quick testing) the distance between the upper and lower grips, with the sample
inserted, can be input as Lo.
5.
Place the sample in the grips. To do this use the JOG and JOG buttons of the remote control so as to conveniently
position the mobile cross beam of the machine. First grip the sample in the lower grips and ensure that the load reading
in the CELL window is zero, if necessary zero using the zero command (once the command has been pressed await a
few seconds for the zeroing to take place). Close the upper grips, it will be noted that the load will be slightly negative
because when activated the grips impart a small compressive force on the sample. This has no negative effect on the
test and in no case should the load be zeroed once the sample has been gripped.
6.
Activate the graph (Graph key) and click on Start Test. After a few seconds, during which the PC sends the test parameters
to the console, a window will appear which shows the load (kN) throughout the test. At the same time the load will be
increased automatically and controlled throughout the test according to the parameters input in the Setting menu. The
test is performed under load control up until the yield point, and then by deformation control. The readings of load and
elongation are transmitted in real time and the graph is continuously updated. The scales on the graph axis can be
modified during the test. The graph screen will also show the values of Fm (load kN), Rm (unit load N/ mm), ReH and
ReL (unit load at upper and lower yield N/ mm) or Rp (unit proportional deviation load N/ mm) and A (percentage
elongation). The test will continue up to sample failure at which point the program will stop the test and discharge the oil
pressure in the circuit. IMPORTANT: the test can be manually stopped at any point during the test by clicking on STOP.
7.
After failure, in accordance with the optional parameters selected, the following elements are shown on the curve: a
reference tangent positioned on the elastic part of the curve and the cursors relative to ReH and ReL. Normally the
software will position these (automatically) in the most convenient position, this however may not occur, for example when
the curve is unusual (e.g. does not clearly show the yield point). In this case the cursors must be positioned manually
and observe the corresponding values in the boxes to the right of the graph. We recommend, for greater precision, to
zoom the area of the graph concerned once having pointed on the cursors. To move the cursor, point it with the mouse
and click and keep clicked so as to drag the cursor to the desired position. In the same way it is possible to re-position
the cursors and reference tangent given by the automatic elaboration following the activation of the optional parameters,
which can also be activated at the end of the test by passing from the graph screen to that of the descriptive and
dimensional data. To move the reference tangent move its origin and end independently. If the measurement Lu is
measured and introduced in the appropriate box, the A% value will be re-calculated automatically.

with a red led which will flash on and off during the test phase.
8.
If necessary file or print the test as described in the following chapters.
9.
Return to point 2 to perform another test. It is not necessary to input all the descriptive data again if it remains the same,
input only those that change.
10. If the testing is finished and to exit the program, stop the pump before clicking on ESC.

OPERATIONAL SEQUENCE FOR TENSILE TESTS ON ROUND SAMPLES WITH EXTENSIMETER

1.
Start the pump by clicking on the relative command. If the pump does not start, check that the red emergency button on
the front panel of the console is released. The pump must be kept continuously during the tests. In this way the hydraulic
oil in the circuit is kept at its optimum temperature. Therefore, we recommend that the pump is started a few minutes before
testing if the machines has not been used for some time. When the pump is running it is possible to activate the upper
and lower grips via the remote control.
2.
Select extensimeter as the elongation measurement device, then select the model to be used as per the following table:
-
A = C961/A1
B = C961/B1
C = C961/C1
D = C961/D1
S1 = C954/C
Remember that the C961 models can be used up until sample failure whilst the C954 must be removed after the yield
point is reached.
3.
Select sample type, round. Then insert the mass and length Lt of the sample. The software will calculate the linear mass
of the sample, the diameter and the equivalent sectional area.
4.
Input the descriptive data as requested, the administrative data (client, testing centre, etc.), the identification data
(number, certificate number, etc.) and the standards and technical responsibility. Naturally, to run a test it is not necessary
to input all the information mentioned above, the only vital data is that of the type and dimensions of the sample. The other
data are however important for the printing and filing of the tests.
5.
Make reference marks on the sample and enter the distance between these marks Lo in the appropriate field. If
reference marks are not used (in case of quick testing) the distance between the upper and lower grips, with the sample
inserted, can be input as Lo. Input the base length of the extensimeter in the Le box (equal to 5 times the diameter
for C961 models, or the extension piece used for the C954). Select the eventual optional parameters, for example E
(elastic modulus). If it is considered that the sample does not present a clear yield point it is wise to activate the Rp
parameter which excludes the ReH and ReL parameters. IMPORTANT: the optional parameters can also be selected
at the end of the test.
6.
If using the C961 extensimeter, it must be fitted on the sample before the next operation (see instruction manual of
extensimeter). If using the C954, it should be placed on the sample after this has been placed in the testing machine.
Then connect it to the extensimeter cable.
7.
Place the sample in the grips. To do this use the JOG and JOG buttons of the remote control so as to conveniently
position the mobile cross beam of the machine. First grip the sample in the lower grips and ensure that the load reading
in the CELL window is zero, if necessary zero using the zero command (once the command has been pressed await
a few seconds for the zeroing to take place). Close the upper grips, it will be noted that the load will be slightly negative
because when activated the grips impart a small compressive force on the sample. This has no negative effect on the
test and in no case should the load be zeroed once the sample has been gripped. Check the correct positioning of the
extensimeter before proceeding.
8.
Activate the graph (Graph key) and click on Start Test. After a few seconds, during which the PC sends the test parameters
to the console, a window will appear which shows the load (kN) throughout the test. At the same time the load will be
increased automatically and controlled throughout the test according to the parameters input in the Setting menu. The
test is performed under load control up until the yield point, and then by deformation control. The readings of load and
elongation are transmitted in real time and two graphs are continuously updated: the green curve referes to the encoded,
the blue one to the extensimeter. The scales on the graph axis can be modified during the test. The graph screen will
also show the values of Fm (load kN), Rm (unit load N/ mm), ReH and ReL (unit load at upper and lower yield N/ mm)
or Rp (unit proportional deviation load N/ mm) and A (percentage elongation).
IMPORTANT: If extensimeter C954 is used, it must be removed before the yield point of the sample. See the instructions
in the PAUSE chapter below.
9.
The test will continue up to sample failure at which point the program will stop the test and discharge the oil pressure in
the circuit. IMPORTANT: the test can be manually stopped at any point during the test by clicking on STOP.

10. After failure, in accordance with the optional parameters selected, the following elements are shown on the curve: a
reference tangent positioned on the elastic part of the curve and the cursors relative to ReH and ReL. Normally the

the cursors and reference tangent given by the automatic elaboration following the activation of the optional parameters,
which can also be activated at the end of the test by passing from the graph screen to that of the descriptive and
dimensional data. If the Rp function has been selected, a gradient is positioned on the graph parallel to the elastic phase
of the curve with a pre-selected offset to intercept the X axis at a percentage proportional deviation (e.g. 0.2%). The value
on the Y axis corresponding to the intersection of the parallel tangent with the curve is the resistance Rp. In this case ReH
and ReL are not given. If the measurement Lu is measured and introduced in the appropriate box, the A% value will
be re-calculated automatically.
11. Below we show the screen relative to the graph: The left hand part shows the load/deformation cure, whilst on the right
are the test results based on the selected parameters.
12. On the lower part of the page is the message test in progress with a red led which will flash on and off during the test

PAUSE FUNCTION
The pause function is only active during the test itself. By clicking on PAUSE the load gradient is interrupted and the load kept
constant until the command is clicked on again and re-started from the point where it was interrupted.
More than one pause can be made during the same test. The pause can also be made automatically at a pre-set percentage
elongation.
In this case only one pause can be set during the test.
The usefulness of this function is evident when using the C954 extensimeter which must be remove before the yield point of
the sample. To do this proceed as follows:
1.
Set the machine and sample for test with extensimeter.
2.
If you do not wish to interrupt the test manually, select the automatic pause function and set the percentage elongation
at which the pause must occur.
3.
Start the test.
4.
When the test reaches the set value (or by clicking on pause) the load gradient will be interrupted. The message PAUSE
will flash on the screen and the load will be kept constant.
5.
Click on Encoder so that data acquisition from the extensimeter is stopped.
6.
Remove the extensimeter from the sample.
7.
Click again on PAUSE to continue the test. The test will be completed without any further data from the extensimeter being
read.
IMPORTANT: This operation must be made before the yield point, otherwise it would be impossible to keep the load
constant and the it could be dangerous for the operator.

SETTING COMMAND
By clicking on this command it is possible to access the menu for the setting of the parameters used by the software to manage
the automation of the test.
Starting from the top, they are:
1-
Load gradient: values between 2 and 20 may be used. We recommend, for better precision, the use of an intermediate
value (e.g. 10 or 15); remember that the machine operates with load control in the elastic phase and in deformation control
from the yield point to sample failure. The passage from one to the other is automatic.
2-
Deformation ramp 1: values between 0.0002 and 0.0025 per sec. are allowed, corresponding to the speed of deformation
during the nerve point phase.
Deformation ramp 2: values between 0.00020 and 0.00800 per sec. are allowed, corresponding to the speed of
deformation during the plastic phase.
3-
Peak sensitivity: is the ability of the machine to automatically determine sample failure. Three different levels can be
selected: high corresponds to a drop of about 100 N/mm, medium about 200 and low about 300. For standard tests we
recommend high or medium.
4-
Ramp offset: this parameter allows the offset, on the time axis, of the start of the automatic load ramp; its normal value
is between 0 and 50 bit. The factory setting is the optimum value and normally this does not need to be adjusted. If
adjustment is deemed necessary, this must be done with the machine hot since the ramp offset does not work correctly
when the machine is cold. Reducing the value delays the introduction of the automatic load ramp, increasing the value
anticipates the start of the ramp with an increase of the pre-load. Thus the offset at a value at which, with the machine
hot, the ramp starts without jumps or evident delays. To change this value the password must be introduced in the
appropriate box. We recommend that Controls service department is contacted before this parameter is changed.
5-
Password: the password must be entered in order to change the protected parameters. The default password is
controls. This is memorised on the first line of the TOOLTIP.INI file found in the program folder. Access this file to
change the password, remember that the new password must be in lower key characters and that the program must be
re-started to activate the new password.
6-
CONFIRM: must be clicked to exit this menu and confirm any variations made.
7-
HELP: gives access to the instruction manual on line.
8-
CANCEL: allows exit from this menu without saving any variations made.

PERFORMING TENSILE TESTS ON FLATS AND NON STANDARD SAMPLES

Remember that flats are regular samples with a rectangular section. The machine should be fitted with suitable grips for this
test. The test procedure is the same as for round samples except for the introduction of the dimensions of the sample (sides
A and B instead of mass and length).
By non standard samples we mean those with other sections that may be tested (chains, links, profiles etc.) with the use of
special profiled grips. Basically the test procedure is the same as that for round samples except that the area is input directly
by the operator.
SAVE COMMAND
Clicking on this command opens the save menu shown below.
The menu offers four different modes of saving which can be selected by clicking in the respective box. Each selection is
indicated with a v and it is possible to chose more than one mode simultaneously.
Click on Accept to perform the selected saving or cancel to return to the previous menu without saving.
SAVE SINGLE CERTIFICATE: saves the last test performed in a format which can only be later opened with UWT 2 software.
All the information shown on the screen is saved, that is dimensions, type and description data of sample, all the descriptive
and administrative data, the graph, the tables, etc. A dialogue window will open for the input of the file name, the folder in which
the test is to be saved can also be selected. The file will have the suffix RND. The file can later be recalled using the Open
command so as to display all the saved data.
SAVE MULTIPLE CERTIFICATE: saves the last test performed in a file that can contain up to 15 tests, identified by the
identification number of the certificate input in the appropriate field on the test menu. In this case no file name is requested
and the test is saved as soon as Accept is clicked. The file is saved in the folder multiple tensile certificate, and has the suffix
RNDB. If you wish to change the folder, this should be input in the file Directory.INI in the program folder.
It is not possible to recall a multiple file with Open, but only with Print Print Multiple certificate since it is impossible to display
more than one test at a time on the screen.
SAVE FILE NFO (Network File Output): saves a single file in ASCII format, that is text format. Thus the data will then be
accessible via commercial software packages, such as Microsoft Works, Microsoft Excel, Wordpad, Notepad, etc.
It creates a file, with suffix NFO, with all the descriptive, administrative, numerical fields etc. relative to the last test performed,
as well as the data contained in the tables. The descriptive data is given in a single line and is separated by commas, after
which the data from the tables is presented. Empty fields are not shown but are represented by two successive commas. The
format can be directly received by Microsoft Excel; in this case it is suffice to declare that the fields are separated and that ,
is the separator.
In this way the data from UWT 2 software can be used in other programs to create personalised test certificates, for statistical
analysis, to create archives, etc.
SAVE MULTIPLE FILE NFO (Network File Output): saves a single test in ASCII format, that is text format, multiple file that
can contain an infinite number of tests. Whilst all the comments of the single NFO also apply here, we must add that the multiple
file, with suffix NFOB, has as many lines as the number of tests saved (it does not contain table data). Successive filing is made
on the same file name. NFOB allows a new test to be hung on an existing file. Using this function an infinite number of saving
methods can be achieved, for example, daily, weekly, monthly, historical files, files for individual clients, sample types, etc.
The universal format allows for immediate interface with commercial software packages.

OPEN COMMAND
The menu offers two choices which can not be selected simultaneously. Click on Accept to confirm the selection or Cancel
to return to the previous menu without opening any file.
OPEN SINGLE CERTIFICATE: this is used to select a test that was saved as a single test, that is with suffix RND. A dialogue
window will open for the file name of the test to be recalled, it is also possible to indicate the folder. The test will now be shown
on the screen, including the graph, tables and multi-graph.
OPEN FILE NFI (Network File Input): this allows the loading of all the descriptive data relative to a test to be made from a file
in ASCII format. In this way it is possible to fill all the descriptive fields on the screen without inputting them by hand; they are
container in a file (with suffix NFI) suitably created beforehand, similar to that formed by saving a test in NFO format but without
the data relative to sample failure.
PRINT COMMAND
Various print modes can be selected, click on the box relative to the required mode, the choice is indicated with the symbol
v appearing in the box.
PRINT LAST SINGLE CERTIFICATE: prints the report of the last test performed. The report, in A4 format, includes all the
descriptive, dimensional and administrative data as well as the test results.
PRINT GRAPH: prints load/deformation graph as previously elaborated. Before printing it is possible to select the curve to be
printed, encoder, extensimeter or both.
PRINT TABLE: prints the table of acquired data, this normally contains several pages.
PRINT MULTI-GRAPH: prints multi-graph as previously elaborated.
PRINT MULTIPLE CERTIFICATE: used to print a report of a multiple test that has been filed (with RNDB suffix). It differs from
the report of a single test in that it contains a table which summarises the most important data of up to 15 samples saved with
the same certificate number. It is also possible to print reports relative to the single tests.

PERSONALISATION OF PRINT OUT WITH LOGO

The possibility is given to select an image (file.BMP) which is then printed on the test reports, single and multiple, and on the
graphs. The file of this image (normally the logo of the test centre) must be saved on the hard disc of the PC. To select it, simply
recall it in the file UWSG.INI found in the program directory. The four figures between the symbols { e } are the X and
Y co-ordinates relative to the position and dimension in pixels of the logo on the print out sheet.
It is recommended that some trial print outs are made so as to obtain the correct size and position of the logo. Call Controls
service department if further details are required.

Transverse or cold testing test

The transverse test consists of a flexion on a steel bar positioned on two lower roller bearers. The bar is stressed by an upper
central roller bearer by means of cat. 70-C0807/2 or 70-C0810/21 or 70-C0820/2 accessories.
According to UNI 559, the transverse test, is used to measure, in the proportional elastic phase, the flexural strength for a
given deflection or, conversely, the deflection for a given flexural load.
Therefore, the load cell and the encoder supply data for a load /deflection graph plot.
If, instead, the user has to perform the cold bending test, according to ASTM E 290 and UNI 564, the accessories cat. 70C0807/31 or 70-C0810/3 or 70-C0820/31 along with the 70-C0807/5, 70-C0807/6, 70-C0807/7, 70-C0808/7 tools have to be
mounted on the tensile testing machine frame.
Test procedure
1) Position the support with two lower rollers of the accessory 70-C0807/2 or 70-C0810/21 or 70-C0820/2 on the lower part
of the mobile frame cross beam and fasten; fit the appropriate upper roller bearer, selected from the transverse test
accessories, to the internal part of the fixed frame cross beam, (for detailed mounting procedure, see the related accessory
instructions).
2) Select ,from the menu page, the test concerning the above mentioned test. A first page appears on which the administrative
/descriptive data have to be entered, as well as the test configuration data, such as distance between the lower rollers and
the diameter of the upper mandrel. With the "PUMP" and "START TEST" keys the test starts and at the same time the
second page containing the graph appears where the "Y" axis is expressed in KN and the "X" axis is expressed in mm of
deflection. The test should be stopped during the advanced plastic phase, at a certain deflection , by operator choice, by
pushing the "STOP" key.
The key with a "cross", for the manual movement of the dots, will put the operator in the position to obtain the load value
at a given deflection or to obtain the deflection value at a given load.
The "SAVE" and "PRINT" keys allow the test storage and the test certificate printout.
3) When the "cold bending test" is requested, the operator has to install the proper accessory, as mentioned before. He will
run the test and enter the results of the visual inspection in the "NOTE" section, according to the requirements of the
Standards.
Compression / flexural test

The compression test refers to cubic or cylindrical concrete specimens and the flexural test on concrete learns..
The related accessory is Cat 70-C807/4 or 70-C810/1 or 70-C820/4, or 70-C970.
They consists of upper and lower compression platens and spherical seat or steel beam with two knifes and upper or single
knife.
It is nevertheless advisable to point out that the universal testing frame is not properly indicated for running many routine
compression tests, due to the large quantity of hydraulic oil involved.
Infact it accumulates considerable elastic energy and can release it suddenly when the sample is broken.

Test procedure
1) Place the lower compression platen on the lower internal part of the mobile crossbeam of the universal testing frame.
Fit the spherical seat and the upper platen to the internal upper part of the fixed crossbeam by means of the shaped
connection pin (for detailed procedure refer to the accessory instruction manual).
2) Select, from the menu page, the compression test (the following screen will appear ).
In this page enter the descriptive specimen data, as requested by the boxes (the computer calculates the area and density
of the sample), and the administrative data.
3) To perform the test, position the sample between the compression platens. Switch on the pump using the "PUMP" key and,
by the "JOG UP" pushbutton of the mobile keyboard, raise the mobile crossbeam until the clearance between the sample
and the upper platen is 5/10 mm.
Select compression or flexion Test by mouse in the proper box. Digit the administrative parameters and enter the equivalent
area of the specimen.
A) In case of compression Test the equivalent area corresponds to the section of the sample between compression platens.
B) In case of flexural Test the equivalent area is given by:
Aeq =
1)
2 x d1 x d22
mm2
3xl
if the flexural Test has been made by one central upper knife
2)
Aeq =
d1 x d22
mm2
l
if the flexural Test has been made by upper knifes

Where:
d1 = base length of the beam (mm)
d2 = thickness of the beam (mm)
l = distance between two lower knifes (mm)
Remember to enter the area (equivalent) of the sample always. Other wise the Test cannot proceed.
Zero the load by "ZERO" key and start the test. The sample is brought to the upper platen and is broken in compression.
Once the sample has failed the machine stops automatically and and the max breaking load and stress values are
displayed in their boxes. The "STOP" key interrupts the test manually.
"SAVE", "OPEN", "PRINT" keys save the test, recall, print test certificates (single test certificates or batch test certificates).

Calibration / manual test

Using the "calibration menu" it is possible to perform the calibration of force and displacement signals coming from load cell
and displacement transducers , extensometer or encoder. The dedicated menu is displayed by the program page.
This part of the program can also be used for manually controlled tests, and data is displayed in term of force (KN) and
displacement (mm).
On the left hand part of the monitor, there are three boxes that display the transducer reading.
1) The section "LOAD" shows the load value of the load cell installed into the load piston of the frame. It is possible to activate
or disable the function "HOLD" by selecting "PEAK" or "NO PEAK".
The "ZERO" key zeroes the display and, by the "SELECT CHANNEL". The reading scale is divided into 2 ranges
1(st) = up to 10% of full scale
2(nd) = up to 100% of full scale
The box titled Coeff. shows the calibration constants. it should be noted that during failure tests, the machine passes
from one range to the other automatically.
2) The "Displacement- Encoder" section displays the frame crossbeam positioning. The related signal comes from the
encoder. The "ZERO" key zeroes the related display.
3) The "Displacement- Extensometer " section displays the transducer reading (Cat. 70-C961/A...../D). It is possible to select
the model of extensometer (A,B,C,D) by the option "Select channel".
The calibration coefficient is displayed in the "coeff" box.
The "ZERO" key zeroes the reading.

Procedure
To perform the calibration of the machine it is necessary to use a calibration apparatus such as the load cell (e.g. cat. 82- E100/
CS or 82- E100/DS or 82-E100/ES - 600 KN - 1000 KN - 2000 KN capacity respectively) according to the capacity of the
universal testing machine, along with the tester cat. 84-P50/B for load calibration and reference blocks (preferably
accompanied by certificate) for displacement transducer calibration.
Calibration of load
Position the load verification instrument between the compression platens of the machine, then operate as follows:
a) switch on the pump using the appropriate key.
b) by pushing "JOG UP" pushbutton of the mobile keyboard bring the load cell to a distance of 5/10 mm from the upper
compression platen. Then release the pushbutton.
c) push "LOAD" key (the red led lights up) in order to abilitate the high pressure. Then push the "fast load ramp" key (the "OUT"
display increases by 10 divisions) to start the load phase.
d) before the load cell comes into contact with the upper compression platen, it is advisable to zero the load display by pushing
the "ZERO" key.
e) during the loading phase it is possible to increase or decrease the load speed according to the operator need by pushing
the "LOAD CONTROL" section keys. It is also possible to maintain the load by pushing the "load maintaining" key or by
zeroing the "OUT" displayed value.
f) to stop the loading cycle push the "load maintaining " key and then the "UNLOAD" key.
This causes the machine piston to descend. It is possible to stop it by pushing "ALT" key. So, the distance between the
load cell and the upper compression platen will be sufficient in order to be in condition to repeat the load cycle and avoid
the piston going down to its rest position.
g) To repeat the procedure start from point (c).
h) If the calibration needs to be adjusted, it is sufficient to correct the coefficient related to the selected scale.
The coefficient has to be modified by a % equal to the measured error: e.g..
Coeff. = 0,11000
Mean measured error = + 1,3%
New coeff. = 0,11000 - 1,3% = 0,10857.
To display the calibration coefficients click on them and enter the password (the default password is controls). Now the
coefficient of calibration relative to the measuring range will be shown (1 = up to 10% of full scale; 2 = from 10% to 100%
of full scale).
i) To check the calibration of the two ranges, all the operations from point b, must be made on the full measurement range
of the machine.
Calibration of Encoder
The displayed value in the "encoder "box is the numeric equivalent of the digital pulses transmitted by the encoder. For this
value no calibration is necessary, but it is possible to check the accuracy.
Zero the display by pushing the "ZERO" key. It is to be pointed out that the encoder is bidirectional : it increases when the mobile
crossbeam goes up and decreases when it goes down.
Calibration of Coaxial Extensometers

Each coaxial extensometer model has a proper calibration coefficient.
To perform the calibration follow the instruction:
a) Select the type of the connected extensometer through the "SELECT CHANNEL" key. The calibration coefficient is
displayed in the "coeff" box.
b) Place the transducer stem in its retracted position, but avoid retracting the stem completely.
c) Zero the display by pushing the "ZERO" key.
d) Extend the stem by a known distance.
e) Verify the display error and, if necessary, correct the coefficient value as already explained at point i) of " load calibration"
paragraph "i".
f) Repeat from point "b" to check the new calibration value.
The above mentioned procedure has to be followed for all the extensometers supplied. Pay attention to the correct selection
of the extensometer type that has been choosen.
Important note: whenever it is requested to modify the calibration coefficients, it is necessary to know the PASSWORD that
is asked when the "coeff" key is pushed. The PASSWORD is available on the first line of "TOOLTIP.DOC" file.

MENU FOR MACHINE SET UP

To access this menu click on the relative icon.
A screen is shown which gives information about the system set up. That is, the full scale (kN) of the load cell fitted on the
frame, the full scale of all the displacement transducers (mm) and the transformation constant of the encoder.
These parameters should only be modified by expert technicians; they are factory set and determine the correct functioning
of the system, above all the numerical resolution of displayed values and the safety control of the software.
The password for access is in the first line of the TOOLTIP.INI file in the program folder. To change the password, enter this
file and re-write the password in lower key characters. Re-start the program to activate the new password.

12 Determination of proof strength (non-proportional extension) (Rp)

12.1 The proof strength (non-proportional extension) is determined from the force/extension diagram by drawing a line
parallel to the straight portion of the curve and at a distance from this equivalent to the prescribed non-proportional
percentage, for example 0,2%. The point at which this line intersects the curve gives the force corresponding to the
desired proof strength (non-proportional extension). The latter is obtained by dividing this force by the original crosssectional area of the test piece (S0) (see figure 3).

13 Determination of proof strength (total extension) (Rt)

13.1 The proof strength (total extension) is determined on the force extension diagram by drawing a line parallel to the ordinate
axis (force axis) and at a distance from this equivalent to the prescribed total percentage extension. The point at which
this line intersects the curve gives the force corresponding to the desired proof strength. The latter is obtained by dividing
this force by the original cross-sectional area of the test piece (So) (see figure 4).
13.2 The property may be obtained whitout plotting the force/extension diagram by using automatic devices.
14 Method of verification of permanent set strength (Rr)

The test piece is subjected to a force for 10 s to 12 s corresponding to the specified stress and it is then confirmed, after
removing the force, that the permanent set extension or elongation is not more than the percentage specified for the original
gauge length.
