Publisher's Synopsis
The Handbook of Testing Materials, for the Constructor V1, Text: Part I, Methods, Machines, and Auxiliary Apparatus is a comprehensive guidebook written by Adolf Martens in 1899. The book is designed to provide constructors with detailed information on the testing of materials used in construction, including metals, woods, and other materials. The text is divided into three main parts: methods, machines, and auxiliary apparatus. In the methods section, Martens covers a range of testing techniques, including tensile, compression, and bending tests. The machines section provides detailed information on the different types of testing machines used in construction, such as hydraulic and screw machines. Finally, the auxiliary apparatus section covers additional equipment used in testing, such as measuring instruments and gauges. The Handbook of Testing Materials is a valuable resource for anyone involved in the construction industry or interested in the science of material testing.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
