Abstract :
Within the growing field of cryogenic applications, there is an increasing demand on cryogenic material characterization. The Cryogenic Material Test Facility Karlsruhe CryoMaK is able to perform a variety of tests. The facility has a long standing tradition in cryogenic testing going back to 20 years in the Institute of Technical Physics at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). Mainly focused on mechanical testing also thermal conductivity and expansion measurements are performed. Additional test rigs are used to examine superconducting performance under applied tensile load in magnetic field.
