There are several factors that you need to consider when you calibrate a Universal Testing Machine (UTM). During this process, you need to validate how accurate your UTM instruments are. You need to determine if you need calibration in compression […]
In this brief post, we are going to talk about weld sample preparation processes. After reading this post, if you have questions to ask and need to consult with an expert, you can direct those questions to NextGen Material Testing, […]
Introduction What is the Martindale abrasion test? It is a resistance test that describes the evaluation of textile materials through a fabric’s resistance to abrasion. The test is done according to the Martindale standard system. Abrasion resistance describes a fabric’s […]
Testing rubber properties is a critical part of the manufacturing process of many everyday items. These include various seals or leak protectors, articles of clothing, stationary utensils, production conveyor belts, and others.
Rubber products need to be tested in terms of the ability of the material to withstand repeated flexing without developing cracks. We’re talking about testing of rubber materials here, specifically. The flexing endurance of rubber materials is determined via a […]
Because of its niche audience, metallographic processes like the tensile test is not very well-known to the public. This is why looking for a reliable tensile sample preparation equipment online can be a handful. Here’s everything you need to know […]
What It Takes to do The Perfect Impact Test The process of impact testing is used to study the various characteristics of materials. These include toughness, hardness, ductility and strength. It involves the sudden application of a load to a […]
An extensometer is an accessory to a tensile strength tester and is extensively used in materials testing. This instrument places a sample under stress, which causes it to physically deform. These deformities can be almost invisible to the eye or […]
The hardness of a material is one of the more compelling factors that determine its suitability for a specific purpose. As such, a hardness test is required to determine the extent of a material’s ability to contribute to an object’s […]
What is Impact Testing? Impact testing is a procedure that measures a material’s resistance to failure when subjected to high-rate loading. This method is used in multiple industries like automotive, aerospace, and construction to guarantee materials withstand real-world impacts. […]
