The industrial history of materials testing by machine can be traced to Tinius Olsen, a visionary inventor who built the first universal testing machine. By 1880, he had proven and patented enough of his revolutionary ideas and designs to create an entire line of testing

machines and launch his own company.Over the years, Tinius Olsen introduced and innovatedapplication-specific solutions for materials testing thatspanned the industrial manufacturing and constructionspectrum. After the turn of the century, andthe innovation of motor vehicles and modernhighways, that scope of offerings came toinclude a new product line dedicated to thetesting of cement, concrete, and roadmaterials. Nearly a century later, many of Tinius Olsen’s original designs and technological approaches are still industry standards today, a testament to his knowledge of the sciences, of the nuances of the many natural and man-made materials that make up our world, and of best engineering practices. At Tinius Olsen, we are proud of ourfounder’s legacy and are always seeking tobuild upon it with new and creative systemsthat combine the best of proven materials testing machine technologies with the latest in automation and in digital monitoring, control, and analysis software. We offer equipment for testing high performance metals, the latest engineering grades of plastics, the toughest textiles, and the most exotic composites. Building upon some of the early solutions of our foundershown here, we also offer one of the industry’s mostcomprehensive and reliable lines of products and servicesfor the testing of construction related materials. The breadthof machines and testing resources that follow are allsupported by our A2LA and UKAS accredited technicalteam who keep our ever-growing global customer base upand running with precisely-calibrated testing machinery.

le-Chatelier Mold

System DescriptionThe Le-Chatelier Mold consists of a small split cylinder, which, when assembled, forms a mold with an internal diameter of 30 mm and a height of 30 mm. On either side of the split cylinder, two parallel indicating arms with pointed ends are fixed. The mold construction is such that when a mass of 300 g is applied, this will increase the distance between these indicator arms by 17.5 mm ± 2.5 mm without permanent deformation of the mold.

Two rings are soldered to the upper half of the mold on each side of the central split to make it easier to split the hardened mold at the end of the test.Two rings are soldered to the upper half of the mold on each side of the central split to make it easier to split the hardened mold at the end of the test.
