thermostatable chamber for the charging of a testing machine with samples for notched impact impact bending tests

摘要

A hopper device for charging a testing machine with samples for notched bar impact tests, whereby said device can contain a large number of samples that are part of a series. The samples are successively loaded into the hopper device at a specific rate and are tempered as they circulate through the hopper device by a tempering device arranged directly thereon. Since the hopper device acts as a dispenser for the samples and simultaneously operates as a tempering device, a low cycle time or a high clock rate can be obtained for the charging of the testing machine during a relatively long tempering time.
