Materials testing is a technique used to determine the physical and mechanical properties of materials under various conditions. Materials testing instruments are suitable for quality control, production, laboratories, and basic research, as well as industries of plastics and rubber, packaging, automotive, medical, pharmaceutical, metals, paper and cardboard, wood, textiles, electronics, and construction materials.
To address the challenges encountered while testing various materials, a range of high-performance materials testing instruments have been developed and designed for precise and repeatable testing. Common typical testing capabilities include tensile strength, compression, flexure/bend strength, coefficient of friction, puncture strength, tear resistance, peel strength, shear strength, delamination strength, bond strength, adhesion strength, break load, creep and stress relaxation, crush resistance, deformation strength, ductility, elastic limit, elongation, rupture strength, young’s modulus, toughness, torsion.
Tensile testing instruments are used to test parameters such as strength, elongation, and elastic modulus of metals, plastics, rubber, and composites. Fatigue and impact testing instruments are used to evaluate the fatigue strength and fatigue life of materials under impact conditions by applying pressure periodically. Hardness testing instruments are used to measure the ability of materials to resist localized plastic deformation or scratching, helping engineers and researchers optimize material selection and product design. Viscosity and flow testing instruments are applied to measure the viscosity and flow properties of liquid and fluid materials, which are commonly used in fields of chemicals, food, pharmaceuticals, petroleum, and materials science. High-speed cameras can be used to measure material and structural properties by capturing transient events and monitoring the responses of materials under impact, vibration, or other dynamic loads. In addition, universal testing machines (UTMs) are versatile testers specifically designed for tensile, compressive, shear, bending, adhesion, bond strength, tear, and peel strength testing, which can be used with different accessories.
Materials testing instruments are crucial tools in materials science and engineering to ensure the performance, reliability, and safety of materials. Amerigo Scientific offers a wide range of materials testing instruments to meet the needs of different materials and applications.
