The TRX in use

We wanted to see why our customers buy the TRX Strain Gauge Sensor Display and what they use it for. Prescott Instruments Ltd is one such customer. Located near Tewkesbury, they use the TRX to provide a value-added customer calibration service.

The Prescott Instruments ‘Auto Load RHEO-LINE Multi-Function’ material testing machine is an engineering masterpiece. It takes in a rubber material sample and compresses it between two hot plates. With the rubber sample remaining compressed, the bottom plates slowly rotates back and forth, thus subjecting the sample to various torque forces while the rubber cures at a high temperature.
