INSTRON VHS High Strain Rate
High strain rate test systems for speeds up to 25 m/s.
INSTRON VHS High Strain Rate
Many materials behave differently under various strain rates. VHS systems offer high-speed testing up to 25 m/s and matter where components are exposed to high strain rates, for example in studying material failure and optimising weight.
