Polymer Testing - Mechanical
Tensile testing, using an Instron testing machine or other lighter load cell, elongates a sample and the force required to break the sample is recorded. This produces a stress strain curve from which mechanical properties (modulus, strength, elongation at break) is measured.
Compression testing, places a sample under a crushing load and deformation is recorded. This produces a stress strain curve from which compressive properties are measured.
Adhesion/peel testing, using an Instron testing machine or other lighter load cells, measures the strength required to pull apart a bonded surface or to tear a material.
Custom Testing, using various equipment and test fixtures and having the ability to machine test fixtures we can perform many types of testing including life cycle testing, friction/wear testing, environmental testing, and bend testing.
Flexural StrengthTesting and flex modulus, The flexural strength of a material is defined as its ability to resist deformation under load. For materials that deform significantly but do not break, the load at yield, typically measured at 5% deformation/strain of the outer surface, is reported as the flexural strength or flexural yield strength. The test beam is under compressive stress at the concave surface and tensile stress at the convex surface. We also measure a material's flexural modulus (the ratio of stress to strain in flexural deformation).
