3SAE News and Updates

The 3SAE Large Diameter Bend Proof Tester (BPT) is the first commercially available tool for testing the mechanical integrity of large diameter fibers/splices with cladding diameters measuring 250 μm to 1 mm. The mechanical testing of large diameter fibers using linear tensile technology is impractical to achieve a meaningful strain per cross-sectional area. The BPT accomplishes an equivalent tensile test by inducing a controlled bend in the fiber while automatically rotating the fiber about its axis. In this manner, the [Continue Reading…]
