KAPPA Multistation for Plastics The Kappa Multistation electromechanical creep testing machine is a flexible, compact and precise creep testing machine equipped with individually controlled test axes. It was designed especially for the analysis of the creep behavior of plastics and polymer materials at modern R&D laboratories. This creep testing machine provides advanced solutions for applications such as creep tensile and creep flexure tests to ASTM D2990 and to ISO 899-1 (tensile) and -2 (flexure). The versatility of the system can be enhanced with further applications like quasi-static tensile, flexure, and relaxation tests. The Kappa Multistation for plastics combined with a Multistation optical strain measurement system and a temperature chamber is currently available for creep testing applications with force capacities ranging from 5 N up to 10 kN per axis. Versatile creep testing system with 5 or 6 independent controlled test axes in one test frame Extremely cost efficient and compact design Rigid load frame construction Combination with non-contact videoXtens strain measurement system videoXtens extensometer does not affect the specimens (which is required by the standards) Ability to integrate one or two temperature chambers; comprising all test axes for a complete and profound analysis of the specimen material properties at different temperatures such as tests according to the stepped isothermal method (SIM) Different simulated environmental conditions High-precision load cells mounted on moving crosshead Test monitoring and analysis with special testXpert II Multistation software
