Model DC16 Load and Stress Indicator
For tension and compressiontesting to ASTM requirements!

The Series DC16 Family features higher
resolution, greater accuracy, faster sampling
rates, increased storage capability and a
simpler design for greater reliability and
ease-of-use.

Accessories

  • WinCom Windows based serial communications
    software to import data into spreadsheet and database programs.
  • S-Trak Specimen Tracking and Database System.
  • Barcode Reader Input.
  • Shunt Calibration.
  • Serial RS-232 Printer.
  • Pressure Transducers-1,000 2,500 5,000 10,000 psi.
  • Input specimen dimensions automatically and accu-rately with the Electronic Gage Input.

DC16 Load and Stress Indicator is ideal for:

  • Quality Control
  • Product Evaluation
  • Proof Testing
  • Concrete Cylinder Testing
  • Cement Cube Testing
  • Beam Bend Testing
  • Tensile Testing
  • Compression Testing
  • Force Calibration
  • Standard Features:

    • Indicate Live Load, Peak Load, Live Stress, PeakStress, Load Rate and Stress Rate.
    • Select between engineering units of Lb, N, KN andKg.
    • Store up to 1,000 test results to permanent memory. Results include Date, Time, Specimen ID#, Specimen Type, Area, Peak Load, Peak Stress plus a statistical summary of Peak Load and Stress.
    • Generate a hardcopy printout of the results on a 9- side for report format.
    • Store up to six load cell calibrations for multiple load cell systems. The load calibration algorithm allows up to 10 calibration points per cell with piecewise linear fit between points. Accuracy exceeds ASTM E4 Standards and in general is greater than 0.5% from 1% of full scale to full scale.
    • Print a Load or Stress vs. Time curve on an Epson LQ compatible printer.
    • Activate Auto-Store to automatically store the
      results of each test.
    • Activate Auto-Print to automatically print the
      results of each test.
    • Define and detect the end of test with the Sample Break Detector.
    • Connect to full bridge strain gage and high level output analog transducers.
