Equipment Development

　In safety design of structures, their load conditions and fracture behavior must be sufficiently grasped. For this purpose, testing that simulates the actual load conditions, atmosphere and environment is required. KMTL designs and manufactures special testing and other machines based on the precision machining and advanced testing technologies developed over a long period of years.

　This equipment has been developed to accurately evaluate the residual life or investigate the failure of large plant-components with a minimized amount of samples taken. (Standard sample size: 2.5 (t) x 20 (w) x 40 (l) mm) 　Various types of testing are available using the extracted samples, featuring destructive testing on our self-developed miniature series testing machines including miniature tensile, high-cycle/low-cycle fatigue, and creep testing machines.

　This equipment has been developed for residual life evaluation of high-temperature components of power plants. It uses a miniature size specimen (2 mm thick) that minimize the effect to the component, enabling to secure the component strength and reliability by minimizing the damage given. Using this equipment will bring about sophisticated maintenance operation and reduce the maintenance cost and period.

　Creep testing to JIS, ASTM and other standards are mandatory for aerospace, power generation, auto, and high-temperature and high-pressure components. The creep testing machine we offer is of high accuracy and meets required international standards, satisfying each customer’s needs.
