| Automated Indentation Tester |
|
Change in mechanical properties of materials during service reveals health and integrity of components. In case of critical component in service, it is not always possible to extract standard test specimen for laboratory test. In this situation, in-situ nondestructive testing on in service components is required and the Automated Indentation Tester is the instrument of choice in such cases.
- Ball Indentation (BI) test is in situ method of determination of aging related changes in material properties of components.
- Advanced design with software based operation, data acquisition and analysis
- Adaptors for field testing of pipes and bench testing of small samples.
- Ball impression is less than a mm in diameter, hence nearly a nondestructive test.
- Ideally suited for weld zone and HAZ as testing is localized.
- Strain or Stress controlled loading and unloading curve.
- Correction factor for indentation area to account pile-up/sink-in.
- One-click surface integrity assessment for time saving and comfort.

| UPDATED | Scratch Tester (V2.1)IMPROVED DESIGN AND EXTENDED CAPABILITIES (V2.1) |
 |
Introduction
There is a growing trend towards the use of modified surfaces for improved performance and life of components. Modifications are invariably in the form of coatings on base material. They are deposited by electroplating, vapor phase deposition, diffusion, thermal spray or welding. Coatings need to be characterized for parameters like scratch resistance, critical load, adhesion and nature of damage under high stress. The Scratch Tester by Ducom facilitates these measurements over a wide range of parameters. |

Introduction
The Ducom Journal Bearing Tester (Basic) is designed to demonstrate and study pressure distribution behavior of lubricants in journal bearings.
Description
The system consists of a vertically mounted journal driven by a variable speed motor. The load is applied radially to the bearing with a loaded lever. Journal bearing assembly is immersed in lubricant. An electronic sensor measures the oil film pressure. The angular position of the pressure senor with respect to the load line is varied and pressure is recorded.
