Mechanical & Technological Laboratory

The mechanical laboratory has several testing machines which enable to test various solid materials as metals, plastics, woods, glass, ceramic and other building materials

Some machines are mentioned here:
• 1600 kN digitally controlled servohydraulic testing machine Schenck Hydropuls S 56.
• 100 kN universal testing machine TIRA test 2300.
• 6000 kN pulsator ZDM 300/600 Pu.

Specification of the machines

Schenck Hydropuls S 56
