Abstract

A microprocessor-based system has been developed to control varying temperature during material characterization tests. The system controls temperature independently over four zones. Four control zones are used in order to provide two-dimensional temperature control on a flat plate specimen. Specimen cooling is provided by forced air through shower head type nozzles.
