, initial modulus, elongation at break, and tearing strength of fibers, yarns and fabrics. Designed to replace manual dial gauge dial gauge

Any of a number of deviation-type gauges that indicate the amount by which an object being gauged deviates from the standard. This deviation is usually shown in units of measurement, but some gauges show only whether the deviation is within a certain range.
 or pen recorder-based systems, the Gauge Buster Toughness Meter displays and records load, elongation and elongation rate.

The Gauge Buster Toughness Meter is easy to use and features operator inputs of linear density, load/elongation points for modulus calculations and the elongation window for tearing strength. During the test, live force is displayed on the upper line, and elongation and elongation rate on the lower line of a two-line by 16 character liquid crystal display liquid crystal display (LCD)

Optoelectronic device used in displays for watches, calculators, notebook computers, and other electronic devices. Current passed through specific portions of the liquid crystal solution causes the crystals to align, blocking the passage of light.
 (LCD). After the test is complete, computed results are viewed on the display and can be downloaded to a remote computer via the RS232 port. Load - elongation data can also be downloaded to a computer for further analysis and plotting.

When transferred to a computer, the results are displayed in a spreadsheet or can be imported into a database or Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS LIMS Laboratory Information Management System

).

The Gauge Buster Toughness Meter's software programmable calibration, which exceeds American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM ASTM
abbr.
American Society for Testing and Materials
) E4 requirements, is password protected and stored in permanent nonvolatile memory; this eliminates the need to manually adjust potentiometers. Designed to work with a wide range of materials testing machines from virtually any supplier, it is compliant with ASTM test methods D1294, D1445, D1578, D2256, D2524, D5034 and D5035.

"The Toughness Meter complements our recently announced pi Tenacity Meter which measures breaking strength and tenacity," said Richard Gedney, ADMET founder and president. "Together, they offer a range of test measurement options for the textile industry that allows sophisticated tests on new or retrofitted tensile testing machines. We make it straightforward for operators to transition from outdated analog systems to the new digital based equipment with easy inputting of test parameters, clear display of results and automatic integration with spreadsheets and lab management systems."

The Gauge Buster Toughness Meter is available as an upgrade package for new or existing tensile machines. It is priced at $2,000 and includes the Toughness Meter, a linear encoder to measure elongation and Microsoft Windows communications software. It is available immediately directly from ADMET, as well as from ADMET representatives and calibrators. ADMET also offers pre-wired load cells plus grips and fixtures.
