Brazilian Test

The Brazilian Test Application was designed to be used in conjunction with a GCTS Wireless Point Load Testing System equipped with Brazilian Test Platens. This application allows the user to easily perform and record data for an indirect tensile strength through the Brazilian method by connecting wirelessly with the GCTS Point Load Testing System using Bluetooth.
All steps of test preparation can be easily read and transmitted to the application for ease-of-use. The operator can place a calibrated specimen in the cell of the Point Load Testing System for calibration of the crosshead position. The application uses a two-point calibration for the crosshead position.
Using this application, specimen measurements can be made with ease.
The application automatically records the load and the height of the specimen during the test and creates a graph of the data in real-time. The tensile strength of the specimen will be automatically calculated and displayed at the end of the test. The application calculates and records the stress on the specimen during testing, and a graph of this data can also be viewed in real-time. A real time display of the loading rate helps the user apply loads at the appropriate rate.
After performing the test, the data can be emailed direction from the application as a Microsoft Excel © spreadsheet. Test results are also saved in the application for later viewing.
This application must connect once to a GCTS Wireless Point Load Testing System before it can be used. After it has connected to a system, the application may be opened and data may be viewed from any location.
