MTS Servohydraulic Test Frame
The MTS Servohydraulic Test Frame is used to test the strength and fracture properties of materials. The test frame in this photo is being used to test the tensile strength of a hydrided Zircaloy tube used in nuclear power systems. The test frame is enhanced with a digital image correlation system that visualizes the deformation patterns of the tube as it is being tested.
