Arrangement and method for the analysis of the strength of a specimen of reducible material that contains iron

Abstract A method for the analysis of the strength of a test specimen (A) of reducible material that contains iron during the use of an arrangement that demonstrates a first device and a second device that can be displaced relative to each other, each of which 5 demonstrates contact surfaces (8, 13) facing the other. The method comprises the steps: a) a test specimen is arranged between the contact surfaces (8, 13); b) the distance between the contact surfaces (8, 13) is continuously reduced; c) the test specimen (A) is compressed between the contact surfaces (8, 13) while a measurement value that comprises at least the force that is applied to the specimen 10 (a) is collected; d) the measured value is stored in a memory; e) the distance between the contact surfaces is increased; and f) the compressed test specimen is removed. The invention further comprises an arrangement for carrying out the method.
