We Make A Material Difference

we make a material difference

DENSITY

ASTM D792

PURPOSE:

To determine the mass per volume of a given plastic

GARDNER IMPACT

ASTM D5420

PURPOSE:

Since plastics are viscoelastic, they may be sensitive to changes in velocity of weights falling on their surfaces. The Gardner Impact tests this velocity at specific weights.

IZOD IMPACT

ASTM D256

PURPOSE:

Determines how much impact a material can withstand

MOISTURE ANALYZER

PURPOSE:

The total moisture level in a sample.

MELT FLOW

ASTM D1238

PURPOSE:

Determines the viscosity of materials at low shear rate; indication of molecular weight

FLEX AND TENSILE

ASTM D638 and ASTM D790

PURPOSE:

Determine brittle or ductile characteristics while also finding breaking point when applying pressure.

ESCR: Environmental stress test used primarily for irrigation piping to determine how solvents affect polymers over time

GARDNER IMPACT: Since plastics are viscoelastic, they may be sensitive to changes in velocity of weights falling on their surfaces. The Gardner Impact test finds this velocity at specific weights
