Vendor Manuals One set of vendor manuals to be provided (as supplied by the vendor).

Calibration Decision Rule Where the calibration decision rule is not inherent in the calibration method/standard, MTS will employ the “Simple Acceptance” decision rule to all calibration results unless stated differently. Measurement uncertainty was accounted for by using the best Test Uncertainty Ratio (TUR) possible (typically 4:1) but is not included in the conformity statement. Therefore, when a calibration result is stated to be in or out of tolerance, it is the user’s responsibility to assess the risk of acceptance with consideration of the stated measurement uncertainty.

Test Area Enclosure Information involving MTS load frames MTS load frames are used for testing materials and components and can perform tension, compression, fatigue and fracture mechanics tests. The testing materials and components (test specimens) are supplied by customers or end users.

Customers or end users must evaluate risks due to ejected parts or materials from the test specimens. MTS recommends that the load frame be equipped with an integral Test Area Enclosure that provides protection against hazards and containment of ejected non-projectile specimen material. The Test Area Enclosure also enhances the security and integrity of tests by providing a barrier to unintended specimen contact by operators and observers in addition to protecting personnel from hazards generated by moving parts.

Because of the wide range of applications which MTS Products are used, and over which MTS has no control, additional protective devices may be necessary. It is MTS’ strong recommendation that the customer or end user carry out their own product safety risk assessments to determine if additional safety devices such as protective shielding, warning signs, and/or methods of restricting access to the product are required.

MTS offers standard Test Area Enclosures for most types of load frames as well as custom Test Area Enclosures. The customer may elect to not have MTS supply the Test Area Enclosure.

When customers decline the MTS Test Area Enclosure, it is then the responsibility of the customer or systems integrator to safeguard the personnel in the work area against ejected parts or materials from test specimens and to control access to the machinery.
