Today, another important piece of sample-environment apparatus arrived: a 100kN horizontal load frame for the KOWARI Strain Scanner.
The load frame was built by Instron, and is very similar to those available at other leading neutron centres. It is primarily intended for engineering and materials-science studies involving in-situ loading and/or fatigue measurements.
It will in the future be fitted with a high-temperature furnace.
