The benches have been conceived to operate in compliance with the most important international standards: NF, KIWA, EN, UNI, ASME JAPMO, etc.

The test benches BPR-SWG are equipped with workstation with 19" LCD screen, electronic card, in order to allow the real-time analysis and recording all test parametres; each test can be displayed or stored together with the most significant diagrams; the supply also includes a colour laser printer located on the bench.

The standard software package includes an acquisition motor device to read until 16 channel with high acquisition frequency adjustable from 300 to 1000Hz.

The software for laboratory management can be integreted with the applications for management and acquisition of alloptinal tests, which can be added both with devices installed on the bench.

 

All benches are equipped with a test report traceability to S.I.T., as provided by ISO 9000 standards.
