The MTL Manual Testers are single column, manually-operated force testers. These testers operate with a quick-action lever in either tension or compression directions. Two models are available- the MTL-110 and MTL-330. Force measurement is performed using a Starrett DFC or DFG digital force gage. MTL-110 The MTL-110 can measure force up to 110lbf (500N, 50kgf). This tester is ideal for component testing and its compact design fits small work spaces. The MTL- 110 has a 6" (152mm) stroke. The tester's quick-action lever moves the rack and pinion crosshead 3" (76mm) per revolution. The lever may be positioned anywhere along the 20" (508mm) column, and with a 6" (152mm) throat, large samples can be accurately tested. Options include a digital scale for measuring deflection distance. The base adapter adjusts to accommodate different gage models. MTL-330 The MTL-330 can measure force up to 330lbf (1500N, 150kgf). This tester can be used for tensile and compression testing applications, and is ideal for spring testing. Fit the MTL-330 with a Starrett digital force gage and optional digital scale to determine spring rates, initial tension and more. The MTL-330 can be easily mounted to your workbench for secure testing. Like the MTL-110, the quick-action lever moves the rack and pinion crosshead 3" (76mm) per revolution. The lever may be positioned anywhere on the 30" (762mm) column, and with a 4" (102mm) throat, large samples can be accurately tested. Optional gage adapter kits are available for use with non-Starrett force gages.

The MTL may be equipped with optional legs so that you can test in a horizontal position.

L3 S oftware

F eatures • Measure stress, strain, load, elongation, extension, and time results using tension, compression, flexural, cyclic, shear, and friction applications • Create test setups using internationally accepted testing standards from ASTM, ISO, DIN, TAPPI and more, or create your own custom test methods • Measure and calculate results graphically: - Points - Modulus, Slopes and Intercepts - Offset Yield - Min/Max/Avg - Breaks (Rate, %Drop) - Peaks and Valleys - Deltas - Rates - Hysteresis - Work/Energy - and more • Options for digital and analog I/O and Control Logic

Starrett L3 systems represent a new and easier solution for creating a test; performing a test; analyzing your test results; and managing test data. L3 systems meet the requirements of today's research scientist, design engineer, quality manager or technician responsible for material characterization, verification and validation. Unlike traditional material testing systems that involve programming and having to know exactly what measurements are required before the test, L3 systems employ a simple methodology. You create your test method. Your test method creates your graph. And then you measure on the graph using a set of analysis tools. You can measure any point and any segment anywhere along the graph. Analyze using stress, strain, load, distance, and time. Your measurements are displayed on your graph and shown in data tables with statistics and tolerances.

Measure results using SI or Imperial units of measure. Display results in Engineering Notation if needed. Specify resolutions for any unit type. View results on any of these graph formats: Stress vs. Strain, Stress vs. Time, Strain vs. Time, Load vs. Displacement, Load vs. Time, Displacement vs. Time. Display full graphs or split graphs with the data table showing statistics and tolerance values.

(Above) Out-of-tolerance results are displayed in red, including a tendency bargraph in the data table.

Below) The Tolerance view provides more detailed infor- mation as to "why" the result is displayed in red.

Statistics can be displayed and your raw data and results can be exported automatically using the Share function.

The operator can add comments about each test run, or use the Extra Coefficients function to display additional information for reporting. Standard reports are included, or export as a .csv file for use with Microsoft ® Excel ® , Word ® , Access or your 3rd-party SPC application.

Construct simple and complex multi-step test setups. Create your test method to an accepted standard or to your specific testing needs. Create your test method and then email to other locations so that your testing is always performed in the exact same manner with the same measurements and results.

Tensile and Compression steps are used to perform "go to moves". Go to a Limit or Break at a velocity or load rate. You can choose exceptions for any move and decide whether to collect data during the move.

Shown is an operator prompt based on a conditional branching state. If the measured result is "out-of-tolerance", a message is displayed alerting the operator. If the result is within the tolerance range, no message is displayed.

Hold steps are used for creep and relaxation testing. You can hold at a limit for a specified duration up to 24 hours, if necessary.

Cycle based on any of your steps in your test method. You may cycle up to 1000 times or for a duration of up to 24 hours at a sampling rate of 1Hz. Each test may have a maximum of 100,000 data points.

The Sample Definition step lets you name your material, specify the shape and its dimensions. You can enter dimensions digitally using a Starrett micrometer, or caliper. Shown is the setup dialog for the optional I/O step. It allows you to control and activate external devices such as annunciators through the test frame's digital or analog I/O channels.

Shown are the various test setup step types, including specialized steps available using the optional Automation Builder.

The Delta tool measures the differences between results. You can find creep by simply choosing this tool and the two points you want to compare.

The Slope tool is used to find modulus. Multiple methods are available including automatic, chord, tangent, and best fit.

You can compare multiple graphs of your test runs and measure delta and variances between tests at precise points. Ideal for benchmark analysis.

Use the Min/Max/Avg tool to find maximum and minimum values. It can also be used to calculate averages of all data between a segment you specify.

Use the Annotation tool to add notes to any graph view.

Use the Offset Yield Point tool to measure any data point on any of the three graph views. The point may be implicit or may be derived based on another result. For example, you can find the point at 100mS before the point at 100% strain.

Use the Work tool to determine the energy or resilience from your stress-strain graph.

Use the Formula Builder to create custom expressions and derived results using algebraic, trigonometric and logarithms.

The Peak/Valley tool is ideal for peel and coefficient of friction testing. Measure the maximum, minimum, average and counts of peaks and valleys.

Find break results based on a percentage drop or based on a load rate decrease.

The Offset Yield Point tool is used to measure the yield strength at a 2% strain offset. Shown is modulus at 100% and 150% and the delta between these two measurements.

Designed for advanced force measurement and analysis, L2 Plus Systems are optimized for quality and engineering personnel. Test setup is intuitive, efficient and non-compromising. With L2 Plus systems you not only find the measurement, but you have the information that shows you "why, when and where" the measurement occurs. Like our L3 systems, L2 Plus measurements and analysis are performed graphically using our Windows ® - based, all-in-one computer workstation. Create high resolution graphs based on load, distance, height and time. Then measure any point or segment on your graph using a set of analysis tools.

F eatures • Ideal for tension, compression, rate control, flexural, cyclic, shear, and friction applications • Measure and calculate results graphically: - Points - Slopes and Intercepts - Min/Max/Avg - Breaks - Peaks & Valleys

- Deltas - Rates - Work/Energy • Create test setups using internationally accepted testing standards from ASTM, ISO, DIN, TAPPI and more, or create your own custom test methods • Options for digital and analog I/O and Control Logic • Options for arithmetic, trigonometric and logarithmic calculations • Use bar code scanning to access test setups

Perform advanced testing methods such as load rate control. Set a target limit then pull/push at a rate using load per time velocity.

Specific algorithms for peak & valley measurements are supported: find peak/valley, find maximum/minimum peak/valley, find averages for peaks/valleys.

Your results can be displayed in markers on your graph, in data tables, or in combinations. Graph types are: Load vs. Distance, Load vs. Time, and Distance vs. Time. Markers can display the load, distance and time to a specific point on the graph.

(Above) Use the Peak/Valley tool to locate the peaks for the entire test duration or for a defined segment within the test. per ASTM F88 Qualify your peaks and valleys using the sensitivity adjustment. Measure average, counts, maximum, minimum and more.

(Below) The load average is calculated for qualified peak values using a load sensitivity of 25%. Adjust for sensitivity using the data definition menu or by using the sensitivity adjustment bar on the y-axis. In this example, the load average is specified at a segment starting at the maximum load point (Lmax).
