In Part II of our video series on ASTM C1609, ADMET founder and CEO Rich Gedney will walk you through the proper procedure for setting [...]
This article discusses foam tensile strength testing. A foam tensile strength test can be found in ASTM D3574 Test E which applies to slab, bonded, and molded flexible cellular urethane foams. There are many tests in this specification including...
ASTM D638 is one of the most common plastic strength specifications and covers the tensile properties of unreinforced and reinforced plastics. This test method uses standard "dumbell" or "dogbone" shaped specimens under 14mm of thickness. A...
ASTM F2258 describes the testing procedure to obtain data to compare adhesive strengths of tissue adhesives intended for use as surgical adhesives or sealants, or both on soft tissue. Preparing the Test Substrate is a critical part of this specif...
This test stretches plastic medical catheter tubing until it fractures to measure its maximum elongation and tensile strength. We used our high elongation/low force [...]
