Another new innovative testing system has been released by our engineering design teams working with medical industry professional who want to perform tensile tests on a range of materials for producing Synthetic Skin. This new accessory is a vertically mounted, temperature controlled, fluid bath that becomes a saline tank. This particular application used with a Tinius Olsen 5KT single column testing machine and a pair of medical grade 50N capacity vice grips that keeps the specimens in a saline solution while the tensile test is performed. The bath is filled from a reservoir tank and the system has multiple sensors to control the filling of bath and temperature of the Saline Solution. What makes this test fixture unique is that it allows tensile tests to be performed on specimens that are underwater, with no change to the testing machine.

There was a fascinating program shown on a BBC channel recently called Metal: How it works. The program description is as follows:
Professor Mark Miodownik travels to Israel to trace the history of our love affair with gleaming, lustrous metal. He learns how we first extracted glinting copper from dull rock and used it to shape our world and reveals how our eternal quest for lighter, stronger metals led us to forge hard, sharp steel from malleable iron and to create complex alloys in order to conquer the skies.
He investigates metals at the atomic level to reveal mysterious properties such as why they get stronger when they are hit, and he discovers how metal crystals can be grown to survive inside one of our most extreme environments - the jet engine.
To see the program you will need the BBC iplayer, and unfortunately for most of us, living in the UK. Here is the link to the show: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01fkc5n/hd/How_It_Works_Metal_How_It_Works/

Tinius Olsen introduces a new line of hardness testers. These new testers comprises over nine frames, and multiple variations on those frames, that test on almost all scales, including Rockwell, Superficial Rockwell, Brinell, Vickers, Knoop, micro Vickers, macro Vickers, and Knoop; the series also includes five Universal testers. All frames feature precision loadcell based measurements rather than dead weight loading, touch screens to aid user friendliness and increase the learning curve slope, connectivity through USB and WiFi, and the ability to consolidate resultant data with other TO test machine results within the Horizon software program.

Testing Steering Wheel for Strength, rigidity and thus quality is an important part of any Automobile supplier’s product supply, and who better than Tinius Olsen to provide the Testing capability for all sizes of Steering wheels of Nano cars, Saloons, Limousines and Trucks. Tinius Olsen has been providing testing solutions to the Automobile Industry for years which includes most leading global manufacturers.
Tinius Olsen provides testing solutions to comply with International Testing Standards for Automobile Component Testing, ensuring complete safety. A sample of the Testing Standards implemented in Tinius Olsen’s automobile testing platform includes:
- AA-M 208 BMW Testing passenger vehicle full-casting brake discs
- BMW S 600 36-0 Brake discs for passenger vehicles
- Ford BO113-03

The key to a perfect test is accurate mounting and support of the steering wheel aligned with the force measurement system as pictured opposite on a Tinius Olsen U series compression testing machine.
A Tinius Olsen system integrated with Horizon automobile component testing software allows users to conduct quality tests 24 hours a day 7 days a week. As soon as the test is complete the system automatically announces “Pass” or “Fail” in accordance with users QA/QC parameters. The system can be configured to alert Managers by e mail should a component “Fail” independent of operator.
Next time you take hold of your steering wheel it is likely it was tested for strength and performance on a Tinius Olsen testing machine.

 Tinius Olsen's new melt indexer was extremely well received at its launch at the NPE show in Orlando. Of the many new features to be included in the new machine, the top 5/ most popular were:
1. the machine's ability to maintain temperature across the length of the barrel to within 0.1 deg C by using three band heaters and controllers.
2. the built-in mirror and manual cutoff that allows operators to see the extrudate orifice without having crouch down,
3. the die release system that enables easy cleaning for the operator
4. the remarkablly cool surface of the furnace even though the furnace temperature was 300 deg C
5. the menu driven touch-screen display was straight-forward and simple to learn/use.
Most of these features are cosmetic in some form or another, but we're confident that once operators start collecting data, the improved machine performance and the ease with which test data can be collected and used, that the more serious characteristics and features of the machine feature more prominently in the top 5 features. |

 Timber is one of the few truly renewable building materials, and thanks partly to the rise in off-site prefabrication its use is becoming ever more common. Wood is a very complex anisotropic natural composite and, despite the long history of timber construction, the factors that govern its mechanical properties are still not well understood.
