NEW PRODUCT
Bluehill Universal: High-Temperature Add-On
Bluehill® Universal software’s furnace testing add-on streamlines high-temperature testing by integrating furnace control, temperature monitoring, and mechanical test data within a single software environment. From specimen heat-up through final test completion, critical test information is captured together in one unified process.
Three-Zone Temperature Control Systems
Temperature control systems are designed for controlling the heat output of furnaces. The control systems can be configured to operate nearly any furnace with any one of several different thermocouples types. Three zone control systems are designed for heat-only furnaces with three separate zones of heating elements, and typically three different thermocouples to control those zones.

Quick-Change Adapters
Quick-change adapters are typically used in hot tensile applications to provide simplified load train installation. They consist of a button-head washer that is threaded onto the room temperature end of a pull rod. The washer and pull rod are then inserted through a slot in the adapter body.

High-Temperature Tension Wedge Grips
Catalog No. W-7554
One set (2) wedge grip specimen holders made of Hastelloy X. Holders designed for tension-only loading and may be equipped to accept flat specimens from 1.13 mm to 3.18 mm thick (0.005 in to 0.125 in) by 12.7 mm to 22.225 mm wide (0.5 in to 0.875 in). Design of holders requires drilling of holes in specimen end tabs for initial loading and jaw alignment. Centering pin diameter 4.1148 mm (0.162 in). Holders are 70mm (2.75 in) long by 38mm (1.375 in) diameter contain 0.75-10f-RH thread for attachment to pull rods.
