Abstract
A device and method for measuring temperature during tribological examination of sample materials. More specifically, the device includes a sample holder that provides for surface temperature measurement for sample materials undergoing tribological testing.
Claims14
A sample holder for a test body for a tribological testing device comprising:
- a base portion having a first recessed area for placement of a test body;
- a hollow support engaged to the base portion having a first inner opening diameter ID1 that is proximate the base portion and a second inner opening diameter ID2 that is distal to the base portion, where ID1<ID2, wherein said first and second opening diameters are configured to contain a thermocouple that extends into the base portion to engage with a test body placed therein.
A test device for the tribological examination of materials comprising:
- a first test body that has a first test body surface that is configured to be driven in oscillating manner;
- and
- a second test body that is positioned in a sample holder having a base portion having a first recessed area for placement of the second test body;
- a hollow support engaged to the base portion having a first inner opening diameter ID1 that is proximate the base portion and a second inner opening diameter ID2 that is distal to the base portion, where ID1<ID2, wherein said hollow support includes an opening configured to contain a thermocouple that extends into the base portion to engage with the second test body placed therein.
