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 ...
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 [...]
The Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) has broad responsibilities including oversight of the crab fisheries in Alaskan waters. A consequence of the pot gear used by the industry is a phenomenon called “ghost fishing,” which happ...
We recently worked with a leading research university that needed a system to test the tensile properties of plant fibers. Scientists at the university required a system that was capable of holding small wood fibers and testing them at extremely low fo...
If you seek to learn about the ASTM D822 tensile & elongation test, please read this article. This page assumes you understand the test and you already own an an ADMET universal testing machine. If your machine came preloaded from ...
Test method ASTM F2634 is used to determine the quality of polyethylene (PE) butt fusion joints. This test is desinged for pipes with a diameter greater than 2.37" and a wall thickness greater than 0.25". Test Summary: In this test a PE "dogbone"...
Shear joints impose uniform stresses across the bond area which results in the highest possible joint strength. ASTM D1002 is commonly performed to measure the shear strength of adhesives that are used to bond metals. This test is similar t...
