Nuclear: test on irradiated metals

Contexte et objectifs

We had a request to carry out closed cell tensile tests on irradiated materials for monitoring tanks in a nuclear environment. The main objective was to have an efficient measurement system allowing implementation in a tele-operated manner

Constraints

Temperature tests – Constraints linked to the thermal enclosure: -150°C and +450°C
Conditions of use and handling of the device: The system must be installed using an assembly adapted to the climatic chambers present for each machine
Required measurement performance: class 0.5 according to ISO9513 standard
Use of measured data transfer of data in real time to the machine control software to allow regulation of the signal measured by the video extensometer
Required precision below one micron

Solution

To meet this request we installed version FVX02 of VideoTraction which perfectly met all the customer's expectations.
