Mechanical Property ncharacterization
Our Instron 3369 Universal Tester measures a wide variety of properties across a full spectrum of materials including plastics, metals, ceramics, ntextiles, adhesives, elastomers, foams, and more. We also have an Instron 3119-615 Environmental Chamber with a temperature range of -100 to +350 -°C. It is tall enough to allow for tensile testing of materials with a significant elongation to break.
Properties include:
● Adhesive strength (lap shear, 180° or 90° peel)
● Tensile strength, yield stress, elongation to break, and modulus
● Compressive strength, yield stress, resiliency, and modulus
● Flexural strength, yield stress, and modulus (3-point bend)
● Tear strength
We can measure a wide range of polymeric materials, including tough, high hardness epoxies and urethanes, and softer silicone elastomers.
ASTM:D903,D1876,D695,D1002,D3163,D638,D790,D624
We also have Shore Durometers in the D,A,and OO scales available to measure material hardness.
