Safety advice is found everywhere—from using electronics to taking the elevator, it’s part of daily routines. When people think of safety measures, the image of a hard hat often appears first. However, not every hard object worn on the head […]
Every laboratory and facility in the material testing industry is perpetually trying to maintain a competitive edge. Each laboratory seeks to surpass its competitors in terms of operational errors, improved client reporting, higher testing accuracy, or faster turnaround times. But […]
Have you noticed that your material testing equipment has started giving inconsistent or unreliable results? Or perhaps you need to meet international testing standards and obtain official certification in order to work with larger clients or pass an upcoming audit? […]
Here at NextGen Material Testing, we offer a comprehensive range of universal testing machines designed to match the needs of modern laboratories and production facilities. It is the purpose of this article to introduce our compact bench-top solution – the […]
Precise strain and displacement measurement is fundamental to mechanical and material testing. Whether measuring metal tensile strength or analyzing crack propagation in polymers, the accuracy of extensometers and COD (Crack Opening Displacement) gages plays a critical role in obtaining valid […]
Testing and calibration require accuracy and reliability. Laboratories must follow strict standards to demonstrate that they are capable of producing valid results. One of the most important standards in this field is ISO/IEC 17025. This international standard defines the requirements […]
Accurate force measurement is the foundation of reliable material testing. Whether testing metal, plastic, or composite samples, every result depends on the testing machine calibration. Two major standards set the global benchmark for verifying force accuracy: ISO 7500-1 and ASTM […]
Materials and components do not fail under perfectly infusing conditions—they fail when struck, dropped, or exposed to unpredictable forces. This is why understanding how a material behaves under sudden impact is one of the most important aspects of product development […]
Understanding how materials respond to heat is vital in industries using polymers and thermoplastics. Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT) and Vicat Softening Temperature (VST) are key factors that assess material’s thermal performance under stress. Having these metrics in place is a […]
Consider the situation where an engineer is tasked with verifying the structural integrity of a newly created aircraft component. The selected metal alloy is well known for its strength and durability; however, verifying its compliance with stringent safety standards is […]
