Equipment Needed for ASTM E8 Tensile Testing 1. Universal Testing Machine (UTM) The core equipment for applying controlled tensile loads. Load capacity: Typically ranges from 50 kN to 600 kN, depending on material strength. Control system: Can be servo-hydraulic or electromechanical. ... Read More
1. Preparing the Specimen Start with a standard rectangular test bar, typically 10x10x50 mm. Use a broaching machine to create a precise notch in the sample. Insert the sample into the broaching machine. Close the shields for safety. The vertical broaching knife will cut the no ... Read More
ASTM D624 is a standardized test method developed by ASTM International to determine the tear strength of conventional vulcanized rubber and thermoplastic elastomers. This test is critical for evaluating the mechanical durability and performance of elastomeric materials used in automotive, ... Read More
