Specifications:
Device model: Zwick / Roell Z050
Manufacturer: Zwick
Country of manufacture: Germany
Software name used: Testxpert
Description of test:
Tensile test is the most basic type of physical and mechanical properties test that is performed on a sample and determines how the sample reacts to the applied force. This device provides the user with stress-strain properties using three different methods of tension, pressure and bending in the form of diagrams.
Services available:
-
Stress-strain curve
-
Determine the elastic range
-
Determination of elastic modulus
-
Determination of yield stress
-
Determine the strain in failure
-
Determine the strength of a material
-
Toughness measurement
Sample preparation:
Depending on the type of test, the dimensions of the sample are in accordance with the standard and at least 5 of each sample are required.
Applicable standards:
-
ASTM D638 Standard Test Method for Tensile Properties of Plastics
- ASTM D882 Standard Test Method for Tensile Properties of Thin Plastic Sheeting
- ASTM D790 Standard Test Method for Flexural Properties of Unreinforced and Reinforced Plastics and Electrical Insulating Materials
- ASTM D695 Standard Test Method for Compressive Properties of Rigid Plastics
- ASTM D3039 Standard Test Method for Tensile Properties of Polymer Matrix Composite
- ASTM D7264 Standard Test Method for Flexural Properties of Polymer Matrix Composite Materials
Limitations:
Possibility to use two load cells, with a force of 10 and 50 kN
