USING THE STRESS ANALYSER FOR TENSILE TESTING
3
Plug in the analyzer to a standard wall outlet
4
Attach laptop computer cable to the analyzer
5
Turn on computer and load the analyzer software
SSA 1000
6
Turn on the the analyzer with the switch at the

Slide up the large plastic shield at the front of
the analyzer and fold it back on the top of the
analyzer.
11
Screw one end of the tensile testing sample 1/2
inch into the pull rod adapter that extends up at
the center of the analyzer table
12
Slide the round hollow tensile testing attachment
down over the test sample and center it around
the pull rod on the table of the analyzer.
13
Line up the upper end of the test sample thread
with the threaded hole in the knob of the
attachment. Thread the knob on to the test
sample about 1 / 2 inch
14
Close the plastic shield on the analyzer so that

16
Run the analyzer by selecting the start button.
If the sample should fail to break, the 1 inch
center section of the sample needs to be turned
down more.
17
After the sample breaks click the print button on
the computer screen to print the graph.
