"Tabletop-sized high-temperature tensile observation device" High-temperature tensile compression observation device "CATY-T3H" with high-temperature heating, tensile compression, in-situ observation, and atmosphere control also available.

Tests can be conducted while observing the condition of the material surface [using a dual-swing crosshead], keeping the sample position centered to capture any changes!

The "CATY-T3H SYSTEM" is a tabletop-sized high-temperature tensile observation device that allows for thermal fatigue testing while observing the state of the sample surface in real-time. It can be used with simple operations and supports high-temperature and high-speed heating. By adopting a dual-swing crosshead, it maintains the sample's position in the center even if the sample piece expands or contracts, thereby minimizing the displacement of the observation position. By combining with optional units, it can also accommodate tests such as bending observation. 【Features】 ■ Capable of high-temperature and high-speed heating up to 1500°C * However, this depends on the shape and thermal capacity of the sample. ■ Testing of not only metallic materials but also composite materials of surface-mounted components is possible. ■ Stress measurement, low-cycle fatigue testing, and creep testing can be conducted in gas flow or vacuum conditions. ■ Realization of combined testing for thermal fatigue under stress and real-time observation. * For more details, please refer to the documentation.

"Heating and Cooling Observation Device MHO-300-2" Just place it on your microscope! Compact and slim / Atmosphere control available.

Simply place it on the stage of your microscope or micro-scope to observe changes from -100°C to 300°C in real-time. In a hermetically sealed furnace, heating and cooling can be performed under various vacuum inert gas atmospheres. 【Points】 ▮ Flexible temperature control performance With the dedicated software "TeCSS," temperature programming and monitoring can be easily done (it can also be operated independently with the temperature controller). Additionally, it displays temperature, time, and scale, and allows for in-situ image capture and storage synchronized with actual temperature records using the dedicated video recording software "HiTOS." By adding a cooling mechanism, it can also accommodate -100°C. ▮ Compact and user-friendly design This heating and cooling stage is designed to be small and thin, making it easy to reproduce special conditions. In addition to observation applications under microscopes or micro-scopes, it can also be repurposed for analytical instruments such as laser microscopes, Raman spectroscopy, and micro-spectroscopy. ▮ Atmosphere control with vacuum chamber structure Due to its vacuum chamber structure, heating and cooling can be performed under vacuum inert gas atmospheres.

The "Mechanical Stitch Method" by Nichinichisui Road Machinery Co., Ltd. is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without the application of heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, cracks are physically removed, and repairs are made without causing any thermal impact to the base material. Repairs can be carried out in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized. ◎ For more details, please contact us. ◎ If a detailed technical explanation is needed, please contact us.

● What is a flow meter? Flow meters measure flow rates using mass flow meters or laminar flow meters and perform pass/fail judgments based on flow rate criteria. They are ideal for measuring airflow and conducting performance tests. "FMZ-1063 series" This is a flow tester equipped with a mass flow meter. It offers high precision of ± 3.5 % of R.D. ± 1 digit (in the normal flow range). It features a time-saving function (scan measurement). The FMZ-1063 is a compact, all-in-one flow tester with various functions. "FU series" This is a flow measurement unit that integrates laminar and differential pressure sensors, making it smaller and lighter. When connected to a display indicator (model: MI-170), it can provide direct flow readings as well as pressure and flow judgments. "FLF-110 series" This is a laminar flow meter capable of measuring a wide range of flow rates from 2 NmL/min to 500 NL/min.

What is an Air Leak Tester? An "Air Leak Tester" is a device that pressurizes the inside (or outside) of a sealed workpiece with air and determines the presence of leaks based on pressure changes. When a master with no leaks and a workpiece with leaks are pressurized, the pressure on the workpiece side decreases, creating a pressure difference between the two. By measuring this pressure difference, the presence of leaks can be determined. Generally, differential pressure air leak testing is widely used, but Fukuda also offers products that utilize direct pressure leak testing and flow meters according to the leak rate, in addition to differential pressure leak testers. Since the air leak tester uses air as the measurement medium, it incurs no running costs and is environmentally friendly.
