Similar to ISO 844, ASTM D1621 is a testing standard designed to measure the compressive properties of rigid cellular plastics (i.e. foam). This post is intended to help you understand the basic test procedure and the equipment needed to perform this t...
One of the most common specifications that our customers follow is ASTM D882 which is the Standard Test Method for Tensile Properties of Thin Plastic Sheeting. This test is very similar to the common ASTM D638 test whereby plastic material is pulled un...
Most plastic tensile property tests, including tensile strength, elongation (at yield or break), and modulus of elasticity are performed on “dogbone” shaped specimens measuring 3 or more inches in length and .25 inches or more in width.&nbs...
ASTM D1414 (D 1414) covers multiple properties of O-Rings. Part of the specification includes tension testing for determining the breaking force, tensile strength, and ultimate elongation of an o-ring. The tension test is intended to be performed on a ...
ASTM D2412 is a testing standard used to determine the stiffness and load deflection of plastic pipe. This summary is intended to help you understand the basic procedure and equipment required to complete this test with accuracy. For a complete descrip...
Universal testing systems may be used to run more than one type of testing. With the appropriate fixturing and controls, you can run tension, compression, [...]
