6.2.3 BREAK LIMIT TESTING The DFC force gage can be used as a controller for Break Limit testing. The DFC is used to specify the direction of the test (tension or compression), the target break limits that define the end of test, and the crosshead travel to the target load setpoint. Once the test is completed, the DFC will display the Distance Limit and the Load and Maximum Load measured during the test. 6.3 L1 SYSTEM OPERATION For maximum testing flexibility, control and consistency, Starrett recommends using the FMM digital force tester with our L1 software. Using the L1 software, common test methods can be setup quickly and performed easily, within seconds. The L1 software uses intuitive fill- in-the-blank templates for these common test methods. Just fill in the specific requirements for your test method and perform testing efficiently and consistently. For more detailed information about all the available features and functions of our L1 software, please read our L1 Software User Manual, or ask your Starrett representative for a demonstration.
6.3.1 LOAD LIMIT TESTING Perform go to Load Limit test methods. Simply specify the test direction (tension or compression), specify the target load and specify the crosshead velocity. 6.3.2 LOAD HOLD TESTING Perform a Load Hold test method for determining creep or relaxation. Simply specify the test direction (tension or compression), specify the target load, specify the hold duration and specify the crosshead velocity. The hold duration may be specified for up to 72 hours. 6.3.3 DISTANCE LIMIT TESTING Perform go to Distance Limit test methods. Simply specify the test direction (tension or compression), specify the target distance and specify the crosshead velocity. 6.3.4 DISTANCE HOLD TESTING Perform a Distance Hold test method for determining creep or relaxation. Simply specify the test direction (tension or compression), specify the target distance, specify the hold duration and specify the crosshead velocity. The hold duration may be specified for up to 72 hours. 6.3.5 CYCLE COUNT TESTING Perform a Cycle test method for a count, i.e., number of cycles. Simply specify the test direction (tension or compression), specify the target cycle limits, you may specify a dwell period for each limit, specify how many cycles (counts) and specify the crosshead velocity to each limit. You may cycle for up to 99,999 cycles. 6.3.6 CYCLE DURATION TESTING Perform a Cycle test method for a duration, i.e., time duration for cycles. Simply specify the test direction (tension or compression), specify the target cycle limits, you may specify a dwell period for each limit, specify how many cycles (counts) and specify the crosshead velocity to each limit. You may cycle for up to 99,999 seconds (72 hours).
