HVL Models

Instron® Industrial Series HVL Models are designed for high-capacity
tension, compression, bend/ex, and shear testing. Featuring a
dual test space and long test stroke, these frames are available
in 2000 kN (450,000 lbf) and 3000 kN (675,000 lbf) capacities.
Understanding the critical importance of operator safety, Instron’s
HVL Models incorporate high-quality materials, components,
and craftsmanship.

Features and Benets
• Two test space design makes changing between tension
and compression testing safer and more efcient – no need
to remove heavy xtures
• Long test stroke accommodates a variety of test xtures
and applications
• Semi-open crossheads with hydraulic lever action grips for
easy specimen loading and clamping
• 5900 Productivity panel with multiple function keys and
displays improves ergonomics and allows the operator to
perform common testing functions and view key test
information without returning to the computer
• Powerful, yet user-friendly materials testing software
provides repeatable and reproducible results for simple
to sophisticated testing requirements
• Variable pressure hydraulic power supply provides pressure
on demand, reducing heat generation, increasing oil life,
and eliminating the need for water cooling
• External hydraulic power supplied with convenient table
top working surface
• Available capacities:
• 2000 kN (450,000 lbf)
• 3000 kN (675,000 lbf)
