How strong is your tiles – check with MOR testing machine
MOR Testing machines are generally used for testing the strength of ceramic tiles and other materials. Modulus of Rupture or MOR Testing machines are generally built of a loading unit wherein you can place the samples for testing, there is a load cell which determines the load of the green and red coloured bars. Also you will find a digital indicator and an analysis software for intricate details regarding the ceramic tiles. For anybody who is looking for ceramic tiles, they must check whether it has passed through the various checks via the MOR and on successful qualification, it will be considered as safe and healthy for purchase! These MORs are built in such a way that the front panel holds the entire load and it will not pose any threat to the surroundings or environment on testing or breakage. The smart built up and technology of the MORs ensures safety and accurate testing than any other methods. If you are looking forward to incorporate the MORs in your project, below are the details that you need to know: Types – There are several types of testing machines available in the market, below are the mostly used ones:
1. MOR (600 X 600) Testing Machine – This is ISO Certified as per EN ISO : 10545 (Part 4), EN ISO : 13630 (Part 6). It is capable of handling 600 X 600 mm of tiles. This helps in determining the maximum strength or breaking strength capacity of the ceramic tiles. Don’t forget to use a controlled stabilizer if you are using this MOR testing machine. Also required are the software and coding system along with this MOR. The key features of this MOR can be summarized as below:
Electro-mechanical design
No sound and vibrations
A digital model with LCD display of the load cell data and other information
Auto stop and auto reverse options available
Maximum load capacity of 1000 kgf
