English

Subject field(s)
  • Scientific Instruments
  • Destructive and Non-destructive Tests (Mat.)
  • Wood Industries
DEF

An apparatus used for making hardness tests on timber.

CONT

Hardness.... With the change to SI units a special hardened steel tool(known as the Janka hardness tool) rounded to a diameter of 11. 3 mm(projected area 100 mm2) is embedded to one-half of its diameter into the(20 mm) test piece. This tool has a device embodying an electrical contact which rings a signal bell when the correct depth of penetration has been reached... The hardness test is performed... on the static bending specimen... there is a very good correlation between the side hardness of timber, as determined by the Janka hardness tool, and its compression strength perpendicular to the grain.

Subject field(s)
  • Helicopters (Military)
  • Aeronautical Engineering and Maintenance
CONT

With the advent of high performance rotor smoothing systems... the need to "fine-tune" rotor blade trim tabs to within a fraction of a degree has proven to be critical... Our new tab tool kits provide consistent, precise, and reliable tab bends in increments of. 001 in(. 025 mm). These new kits provide innovative features including :[a] dial indicator to provide highly accurate, repeatable adjustments; [a] tab bending tool which allows the user to directly read tab position as bends are made; mechanical provisions that retain the tab measurement tool on the blade and position the tool repeatedly in the proper measurement position; [a] zero reference tool to set the tab measurement tool to the manufacturers’ zero point [and a] protective case for transport and storage. These new tab tools kits are available for use with most helicopter models.
