This video from ADMET shows the basics of conducting ASTM D695 rigid plastic compression testing. ASTM D695 covers mechanical properties of unreinforced and reinforced rigid plastics during ...

Universal testing machines (UTMs) that test mechanical properties such as tensile, flexural, compressive and shear are among the most commonly used instruments plastics compounders are likely to buy ...

Until the early 1970s, there was relatively little interest in measuring the compressive properties of composite materials. For design purposes, it was generally assumed that the compressive strength ...

Instron, a leading global manufacturer of material and structural testing systems, has presented their comprehensive portfolio of systems for testing polymers from static to dynamic, from R&D to 24/7 ...
