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).

Foundations
At least 20 days before the arrival of the machine it is advisable to start the foundation work according to the enclosed
drawing. Check also if there is a problem to transport the machine into the final position in the laboratory to install the
machine on the foundations bolts to enable installation to be carried out when the machine arrives.
Arrival of the machine in the laboratory
The machine frame and the control console are packed separately in horizontal position. A can hydraulic oil is also
included and has to be poured in the oil tank of the power pump before switching on the machine.
Erection of the machine
The machine must be lifted by the hook openings shown in fig. (1).
Preliminary checks
5.1 Check the available voltage in the laboratory; the machine is designed for 380 V, 50 Hz, 3 Ph. + Earth and 0.
The maximum power is 2,5 kW (fig. 7).
5.2 Verify if the connections are correctly made by observing the direction of rotation of the pump motor (clock wise)
as follows:
Switch on switch POWER (fig.15)
Press button PUMP (fig.17)
Press button JOG on hand control (fig.18)
The mobile frame of the machine should move upward. If not, invert two phases of the plug. Do not invert the phases
inside the control console.
-
Let mobile crosshead return its lower position by pressing the UNLOAD button on the hand control.
5.3 To remove air from the hydraulic circuit move the mobile frame (up and down) using the button as described above.
5.4 Check that the oil level is correct on the oil level indicator.
5.5 In case it is necessary to add new oil, use hydraulic transmission oil, gradation ISO VG 46 conforming to ISO 3448
specs. Any of the oil listed on page 13 can be used.
5.6 Remove all packing from testing area (if fitted for transportation). For 70-C820 only, remove the steel plates locking
the piston to the cylinder.

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).
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

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:
INSTRUCTION MANUAL
page
17
Rev. 5
13 lug 2005
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:
Manual tests/calibration.
Machine settings.
INSTRUCTION MANUAL
page

Rev. 5
13 lug 2005
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.
INSTRUCTION MANUAL
page

Rev. 5
13 lug 2005
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.

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
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. 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
phase.
13. If necessary file or print the test as described in the following chapters.
14. 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.
15. If the testing is finished and to exit the program, stop the pump before clicking on ESC.

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.
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.
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.
6.
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-
8-
CANCEL: allows exit from this menu without saving any variations made.

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.

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.

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.
