Load Testing

 

Accurate and proven measurements are critical to any load test. During load tests carried out by LHS we take load and displacement sensors readings, which are then added to with laser precision measurements to produce professional and legal reports, graphs etc. for our clients.  

LHS Services team are fully equipped to carry out Load Testing and Certification of machinery and structures. We have been contracted to carry out small scale specialised testing of individual components for finite element analysis to large scale laser measuring of power masts and dam beams. Our high level test house equipment is also used in the ROPS (rollover) protection system and other testing, where we take one second interval readings from multiple tension, compression and torque load cells including displacement sensors to provide structural calculations or determine breaking strain.

  • An on site load test.Standard Load Cells: 5000 kg to 50000 kg calibrated dynamometers (with an accuracy  +/- 0.2% 5)
  • Test House Load Cells: 1 kg to 10000 kg calibrated dynamometers  (with accuracy +/- 0.0 3% 2.5)
  • Torque Load Cells: 1 Nm to 300,000 Nm (accuracy  +/- 0.15% Rated Capacity)
  • Displacement Sensors with accuracy  +/- 0.01 %
  • Tension and Compression Load Cells 100 kg to 50000 kg
