University of Connecticut utilizes ADMET eXpert 1655 servohydraulic testing machine for their mechanical testing needs. In the video below, Adam Wentworth talks about hydraulic wedge grips and gives tips on the grip operation.
ASTM C1609 is a test method that evaluates the flexural performance of fiber-reinforced concrete. This video guides you through running ASTM C1609 on an eXpert 2655 electromechanical testing machine equipped with MTESTQuattro and a three point bend fixture.
Imagine a window covered in solar panels that is still completley translucent or a jacket lined by solar panels that bend like fabric. ADMET recently worked with a leading university that was conducting research on a new type of photovoltaic (sol...
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 C469 governs the determination of static Modulus of Elasticity and Poisson's Ratio of concrete in compression. The ensuing video demonstrates a C469 test on a hydraulically actuated manually controlled Baldwin universal testing machine equip...
Biomedical manufacturers need to determine the mechanical and physical properties of their products to keep materials safe and durable throughout their lifespan. Bone screws, [...]
If you seek to learn about thread tensile testing or the ASTM D2256 test method, please read this article. This page assumes you understand the test and you already own an an ADMET universal testing machine preloaded from the factory with this te...
Introduction Manufacturers of metals, including producers of raw material or finished metal products, need to pass compliance standards before shipping their product. Tensile testing is [...]
