The brief

The Testing and Structures Research Laboratory (TSRL) has a number of 100kN test frames and a larger 630kN frame.

Recent strategic research directions have meant that we require samples that need more force than 100kN but are dimensionally too small to fit in the 630kN machine.

Subsequently, the University requires a new Servo-Hydraulic Test Machine with load capacity of approximately 250kN to complement our existing capabilities and fill in the gap between our existing machines.

The TSRL has capacity within its existing hydraulic infrastructure to include this additional machine in terms of hydraulic flow and available outlets of the existing 210bar ring main.

The scope of this procurement is to provide, install and commission a 250kN test machine with a t-slotted (or equivalent base) alongside an appropriate load cell, hydraulic grips, control system and associated software and hardware interfaces.

The system will be used for both static and dynamic testing and thus must be fatigue rated for large numbers of cycles.
