Principal of Operation :
Operation of the machines is by hydraulic
transmission of load from the test specimen
to a separately housed load indicator. The
hydraulic system is ideal since it replaces
transmission of load through levers and knife edges, which are prone to wear and damage due to shock on
rupture of test pieces.
Load is applied by a hydrostatically lubricated ram. Main cylinder pressure is transmitted to the cylinder of the
pendulum dynamometer system housed in the control panel. The cylinder of the dynamometer is also of self-
lubricating design. The load transmitted to the cylinder of the dynamometer is transferred through a lever
system to a pendulum. Displacement of the pendulum actuates the rack and pinion mechanism which operates

the load indicator pointer and the autographic
recorder. The deflection of the pendulum
represent the absolute load applied on the test
specimen.
Return movement of the pendulum is
effectively damped to absorb energy in the
event of sudden breakage of a specimen.
Machine consists of Straining Unit :
This consists of a hydraulic cylinder motor with
chain and sprocket drive and a table coupled
with the ram of the hydraulic cylinder, mounted
on to a robust base. The cylinder and the ram
are individually lapped to eliminate friction. The
upper cross-head is rigidly fixed to the table by
two straigh columns. The lower cross-head is
connected to two screwed columns which are
driven by a motor. Axial loading of the ram is
ensured be reveling the cylinder and ram of of
any possible side loading by the provision of
ball seatings.
An elongation scale with a minimum graduation
of 1 mm, is provided to measure the
deformation of the specimen.
Tension test is conducted by gripping the test specimen between the upper and lower cross-heads,
Compression, transverse, bending, shear and hardness tests are conducted between the lower cross head
and the table.
The lower cross-head can be raised or lowered rapidly by operating the screwed columns thus facilitating ease
of fixing of the test specimen.

Control Panel :
The control Panel consists of a power pack complete with drive motor and an oil tank, control valves a
pendulum dynamometer a load indicator system and an autographic recorder.
Power Pack :
The power pack generates the maximum pressure of 200 kgf/cm2 the hydraulic pump provides continuously
non-pulsating oil flow. Hence the load application is very smooth.
Hydraulic Controls :
Hand operates wheels are used to control the flow to and from the hydraulic cylinder. The regulation of oil flow
is infinitely variable incorporated in the hydraulic system is a regulating valve which maintains a practically
constant rate of piston movement. Control by this valve allows extensometer readings to be taken.
Load Indicator System :
This system consists of a large dial and a pointer. A dummy pointer is provided to register the maximum load
reached during the test. Different measuring ranges can be selected by operating the range selection knob. An
overload trip switch is incorporated which automatically cuts out the pump motor when the load range in use is
exceeded.
Pendulum Dynamometer :
This unit permits selection of favorable hydraulic ratios producing relatively small frictional forces. Pressurised
oil in the loading cylinder pushes up the measuring piston proportionately and actuates the special
dynamometer system. The piston is constantly rotated to eliminate friction. The dynamometer system is also
provided with an integral damper and ensures high reliability of operation. The load transmitted to the
dynamometer is transferred through a pendulum to the load indicator.
Autographic Continuous Roll Load-Elongation Recorder :
This unit is of the pen and drum type and is supplied as standard. The horizontal motion of the pen produces
the load ordinate of the diagram and the drum rotation produces the extension ordinates in the ration of either
1:5 or 1:10.
Accuracy & Calibration :
AII Moiz Universal Testing Machines are closely controlled for sensitivity, accuracy and calibration during every
stage of manufacture. Every machine is then calibrated over each of its measuring ranges in accordance with
the procedure laid down in BS : 1610 : Part 1 :1992 and IS 1828 : (Part 1) : 1991.

Moiz Universal Testing Machines comply with Grade "A" of BS : 1610 : Part 1:1992 and class 1 of IS 1828 :
(Part1) : 1991
An accuracy of + 1.0% is guaranteed from 20% from 20% of the load range selected to full load. Below 20% of
the selected range, the maximum permissible error is 0.2% of the full load reading.
