TestResources systems and accessories help specify materials, design parts and monitor manufacturing quality. The physical properties of polymeric materials such as thermoplastics varies depending on temperature, so some systems are equipped with chambers at temperatures that simulate the intended end use environment - either elevated or reduced.

800L for dynamic tests such as fatigue crack growth on polymers and plastics. Also used by processors who want to do life tests on plastic ocmponents.

Our test systems, software, and accessories help evaluate tensile strength, flexural strength, modulus, shear, puncture, tear, and poisson’s ratio. Mechanical tests characterize or compare a materials ability to withstand stress or to resist straining under loaded conditions and the test system is then used to measure stretch or elongation of the plastic specimen to its breaking point. Tests may simply measure load at failure or they may produce a stress-strain curve to determine tensile modulus.
