Introduction
The Transmission Pole-Tower Testing Station is the unique and specialized on full-scale test design and research
of transmission poles and towers in China, and one of the largest Pole-Tower test bases in the world. As a
key laboratory of state grid corporation of China, it was accredited by China National Accreditation Service for
conformity assessment and certificated by certification and accreditation administration of P.R.CHINA.
The station has the capacity of completing full-scale mechanical strength tests of 750kV and below voltage
grades double circuit angle tower, dead end tower or transformer frame, and also 1000kV double circuit
suspersion tower. The hydraulic servo loading system with multiple channels PID controlling is used in the
station. Measuring and controlling of load, deflection and strain data and recording test processes have
achieved automation and network by advanced computerized technique, which loads synchronously and
cooperatively wit. Testing technique and capability of the station has reached to international advanced level.
Since the station was constructed in 1960, more than 400 full-scale tests of China and 40 of 14 foreign countries
like Thailand, Iran, Pakistan, Ethiopia, Austrulian, Finland, Banglandesh. and Togo etc. have been completed for
technical research and engineering of transmission lines.
The station is located in Liangxiang, a satellite town of southeast Beijing. There has 26 staffs including 4
senior engineers and 10 engineers, It covers a total area of 96000m2. There has a technical team undertaking
theoretical research, structure design and simulating computation of transmission towers. They have give
important contributions to design of the first 330kV, 550kV and 750kV transmission line of China. The station and
its technologists provide lots of technical assistance and security guarantee for operation of power networks of
China.

Loading system, using horizontal hydraulic cylinders to load and having two sets
of hydraulic loading system. The 60m testing system is composed of hydraulic
equipment supporting longitudinal and transverse load, and the 100m testing system
is composed of hydraulic equipment supporting longitudinal, transverse and vertical
load. (Fig.6)
60m testing system:
Longitudinal hydraulic loading system: with 20 hydraulic cylinders, 8 cylinders have a capacity of 40t each, 6
cylinders 20t and other 6 cylinders 12t. Maximum stroke of the hydraulic cylinders is 4m.
Transverse hydraulic loading system: with 20hydraulic cylinders, 4 cylinders have an output of 40t, 10cylinders
20t, 6 cylinders 12t and maximum stroke 4m.
