Product Code

Overview

Hydrogen embrittlement testing evaluates the susceptibility of high-strength steels, aluminum alloys, and titanium to hydrogen exposure. This test identifies the effects of plating, coating, and environmental conditions on material ductility. Industries such as transportation, aerospace, and oil and gas frequently require this testing to ensure the structural integrity of critical components.

Versatile Testing Applications

The Vector Creep Tester supports a range of test types, including:
• Crack growth and widening tests

Hydrogen embrittlement determination
Relaxation tests
Creep rupture and stress rupture testing
Classic and stepped force creep tests
Long-term testing for up to 50,000 hours

Compliance with Industry Standards

This system meets multiple standards, including ASTM F519 for hydrogen embrittlement testing and ISO 204 for creep testing. By adhering to these stringent guidelines, the machine guarantees global compatibility and reproducibility of results.

Mechanical Precision

The tester integrates a dead-weight and mechanical spring system, eliminating the need for motorization. Its wear-resistant flexible joints maintain optimal lever arm alignment, ensuringbaccurate force application. The automatic end-of-test detection stops the system when the specimen fails, enhancing safety and efficiency.
High-Temperature Capabilities
An optional Vector high-temperature furnace expands testing conditions, supporting temperatures from -100 to +1,500°C. The furnace features:

Uniform Temperature Distribution: Ensures consistent heating along the specimen.
Automated Temperature Control: Operator-independent settings with automated parameter
adjustments.
Integrated High-Temperature Controller: Space-saving integration within the machine’s base.

Applications

Plating and Post-Plating Quality Assurance

Evaluates the impact of manufacturing processes on material integrity.

High-Strength Steels and Alloys

Verifies resistance to hydrogen-induced ductility loss.

Pipeline and Structural Testing

Ensures durability under service environments.
