Metallic Bone Plates need to undergo several tests before gaining approval as internal fixation devices of the skeletal system. One standard, ASTM F382-99, defines the test methods for single cycle bend testing (annex A1) and for determining the bendin...
While it is easy to imagine why bend testing needs to be performed on rigid materials like plastics (ASTM D790) and concrete (ASTM C1609), in [...]
Pipette Tip Bend Test A pipette (also spelled pipet or pipettor) is used to aspirate and dispense fluids in wells for analysis and further testing. There are many types of piston pipettes, but all work on essentially the same principle; hand...
Several factors are driving manufacturers to try and reduce the size, and more importantly thickness, of semiconductors devices used to make microchips. As consumers push for gadgets that are smaller, lighter, yet more powerful, engineers must find wa...
Metallic Bone Plates need to undergo several tests before gaining approval as internal fixation devices of the skeletal system. One standard, ASTM F382-99, defines the test methods for single cycle bend testing (annex A1) and for determining the bendi...
ASTM F1264 Annex 3 is a test method for bending fatigue testing of intramedullary fixation devices (IMFD). This cyclic 4 point bend test determines the fatigue life at a specified bending moment or estimates the fatigue strength for a specified number ...
Bend testing (also flex or flexural testing) is commonly performed to measure the flexural strength and modulus of all types of materials and products. This test is performed on a universal testing machine (tensile testing machine or tensile test...
Along with ASTM D638, D790 is one of the most commonly used specifications in the plastics industry. This test measures the flexural strength and flexural modulus of reinforced and unreinforced plastics. These calculations allow you t...
ASTM F2193 encompasses varied test annexes to determine the strength, stiffness, and durability of spinal screws. ADMET's eXpert 2600 will perfom the following tests. A1 Metallic Spinal Screws- describes the specification for metal...
Recently, a city government's engineering department approached us with a need to test large plastic sewer pipe liners for flexural modulus and strength according to ASTM D790. Our normal recommendation would be a dual column eXpert 2600 universa...
