Knowing the physical properties of materials and understanding how they change under the influence of external factors is crucial for the design, specification, and quality control of manufactured products. Rubber holds a special place in materials science – not only […]
What is Environmental Chambers? Heat, cold, and humidity test chambers (environmental chambers, climate test chambers) are an important tool for testing biological objects, pharmaceuticals, materials, including plastics & rubber, and industrial products. The main purpose of such tests is to […]
Do you want to understand what hardness is, why it should be determined, and how does a hardness tester work? This blog is all about that. Hardness Tester – Origins Hardness (as opposed to softness) in materials science is a […]
Impact tests determine the strength and endurance of materials, their fracture rates, and their ability to absorb energy on impact. These tests are conducted to study the behavior of materials under a rapid load, such as an impact. How materials […]
In this blog post, we’ll learn how abrasion testing improves product quality and introduce the Linear Taber Abrasion Tester from NextGen Material Testing, Inc. Abrasion Tester Introduction Everyday use of household items inevitably leaves traces of this use on them. […]
Automated testing systems are becoming increasingly common in modern industry. Despite the fact that they are considerably more expensive than conventional manual instruments, many manufacturers prefer them for hardness testing because their efficiency is well worth the price. That’s why […]
The variety of elastomers, rubbers, and plastics available enables designers and manufacturers to make the best possible choice of material for new products. The hardness of such materials ensures reliability and wear resistance, while ductility is essential for functionality. Accurate […]
Hysteresis is a phenomenon when the response of a system to an external influence depends not only on the influence itself, but also on the history of its changes. Let’s consider the phenomenon of hysteresis on the example of rubber […]
Tensile tests are performed for a variety of reasons. Regardless, these tests often begin with the fabrication of tensile samples, for which specialty sample preparation equipment is required. The findings are put to use in engineering applications to assist […]
The wide variety of products created in the rubber industry includes the creation of materials and inputs for other industries. With this variety and immense range of needs come requirements of advanced tools to ensure specifications. Industries as varied as […]
