High Temperature 8 Bank Shear Tester

High Temperature 8 Bank Shear Tester

SS-HT-8

Getting precise measurements every time with high temperature shear tests is easy with the High Temperature 8 Bank Shear Tester. It performs a wide variety of shear tests, including PSTC-7 Procedure A & C, TLMI Test No. 7, FINAT test No. 8, and ASTM D 3654. The Shear Tester also performs Procedure C for holding power of pressure sensitive tapes. Switches on the standard model can withstand temperatures up to 400°F (204°C). It can also perform shear tests in humidity chambers or freezers. It comes with the Timer Box. The Timer Box is compact and easy to use. It is also easy to read 0.5" (1 cm) LCD timer display is set to time in increments of 1/10 of a minute. Timer box operating temperature range 32° - 150° F (0° - 70° C). Timer box has universal input voltage from 85-265 VAC (50/60 Hz). Optional thermocouple accessory records failure temperature.
