Application

Application What is Compression Testing of Metallic Materials? Compression testing, as defined by ASTM E9, is a fundamental mechanical evaluation method used to determine the behavior of metallic materials under axial compressive loads at room temperature. Unlike tensile testing, which pulls a specimen apart, compression testing pushes the material together, causing it to shorten and […]

What is Tension Testing(ASTM E8/E8M)? Tension testing is the most fundamental mechanical property test used to determine how metallic materials respond to forces pulling them apart. It measures the material’s strength and ductility by applying a uniaxial tensile load until fracture. This test provides critical data for engineering design, quality control, material specification, and research

What is Force Verification of Testing Machines? Force verification, as defined by ASTM E4, is the critical calibration procedure used to determine the accuracy of the force-indicating system of universal testing machines (tensile, compression, and fatigue testers). Unlike simple “calibration” which might imply adjustment, verification is the process of comparing the machine’s indicated force against

What is ASTM A370? ASTM A370 is the primary standard practice used to determine the mechanical properties of steel products, including carbon, alloy, and stainless steels. Unlike generic testing standards (like ASTM E8 for tension), A370 is specifically tailored to the unique geometries, heat treatments, and product forms of steel (bars, shapes, forgings, wire, tubing,

ISO 11193 Testing on gloves made of rubber It specifies requirements for packaged sterile, or bulked non-sterile, rubber gloves intended for use in medical examinations and diagnostic or therapeutic procedures to protect the patient and the user from cross-contamination. It also covers rubber gloves intended for use in handling contaminated medical materials and gloves with

Industry Standard – Plastics – ASTM D638 It mainly describes the test method for determination of the tensile properties of reinforced and unreinforced plastics. It helps determine essential mechanical properties, including tensile stress, strain, tensile modulus, tensile strength, tensile strength at yield and tensile strength at break. This test method can be used for testing materials

ASTM D1525 Standard Test Method for VICAT Softening Temperature of Plastics This test method covers determination of the temperature at which a specified needle penetration occurs when specimens are subjected to specified controlled test conditions. The reference method for uniform heat transfer is the oil bath. Other transmission media such as air or direct contact with a heating

ASTM D624 Tear Strength of Conventional Vulcanized Rubber and Thermoplastic Elastomers This testing method describes methods for determining the tear strength or tear resistance of vulcanized rubber or thermoplastic elastomers. For standard-compliant testing in accordance with ASTM D624, it is essential to purchase the complete standard. (For further methods for determining the tear resistance of elastomers please

ASTM D1621 Compression test on rigid cellular plastic (according to ISO 844) Compressive properties include the Compressive Strength, Max. Compressive Deformation, and the Compression Modulus, which describes the Short-term Deformation under load. The testing standards differ in the dimensions of the specimen and in the test execution. ISO 844 and EN 826 describes that the movement of
