Non-Metallic Mechanical Tests

Material Testing

Non-Metallic Mechanical Tests

Non-metals such as plastics, elastomers, composites, films, adhesives, and foams can be evaluated for strength, flexibility, fatigue, and many other physical properties where metals are tested.

Non-Metallic Mechanical Tests

EUROLAB mechanical testers can produce important data on mechanical tests and non-metal materials and products.

Hardness Testis a measure of how resistant the solid is to various permanent shape changes when a force is applied. Methods include Shore Durometer hardness test according to ASTM 2240 and Barcol hardness test according to ASTM 2583, ASTM D2240 and ASTM D2583.

Tensile Testing exposes a sample to uniaxial tension until it fails. Element tensile testing capabilities for non-metal include ASTM D638, ASTM D412 and ISO 178.

Torque Testis the force to rotate an object about an axis. The element can test torque on non-metal fasteners.

Fatigue Testis performed on parts and materials to simulate progressive and regional structural damage that occurs when a material is subjected to cyclic loading. Fatigue testing methods of EUROLAB include: fracture toughness testing, a measure of the fracture resistance of a material containing a crack; rotating beam fatigue test, strain controlled axial fatigue test; stress controlled axial fatigue test.

Impact Test: The Charpy impact test, also known as the Charpy v-notch test, is a standardized high voltage ratio test that determines the amount of energy absorbed by a material during breakage. The EUROLAB subscale performs the Charpy impact test and the standard Charpy impact test. Izod impact test, polymers, plastics, composites etc. according to standards such as ASTM D256. It can also be done on.

Bending Testdetermines the softness or strength of a material by bending the material over a certain radius.

Cutting TestThe shear strength measures the response of a material to a shear load, which tends to produce a slip error on a material along a plane parallel to the direction of force. EUROLAB performs shear testing of ASTM D5656 for the shear modulus of adhesives and ASTM D5379 for bulk material properties.

Flexural Strength and Flexural Modulus can be determined according to standards such as ASTM D790 and ISO 178 for non-metal.

Other methods include tear strength, creep, fatigue, friction, wear, and more.
