By type of test

Mechanical tests

Specimens preparation by injection and compression molding
Specimens preparation from component (where possibile)
Specimens conditioning for mechanical tests:
- drying in vacuum-sealed oven (max 17 hours)
- mainteinance in a water bath at constant temperature, until equilibrium humidification
Tension/compression/flexure test at room temperature or other temperature: recording of the force-displacement curve and construction of nominal stress-strain curve
Tensile test with extensometer at room temperature or other temperature for elastic modulus measurement
Creep test at room temperature or isothermal creep at room temperature or other temperature (in tension/compression/bending), maximum test time 17 hours: recording of the displacement-time curve
Use of photocamera and its data acquisition software for the evaluation of displacements/deformations during mechanical tests
Not instrumented Charpy impact test (specimen notching included)
Not instrumented Izod impact test (specimen notching included)
Instrumented Charpy impact test (specimen notching included)
Fracture mechanics tests (KIc) at slow speed according to ISO 13586
Fracture mechanics tests (KIc) in impact conditions according to ISO 17281
Fracture mechanics tests (JIc) according to ESIS protocol (2001)
Dynamic-mechanical tests (temperature and frequency sweep; isothermal strain sweep)
Compression cyclic tests on elastomers
Fatigue tests with servohydraulic dynamometer

Rheological tests

Capillary rheometer tests on polymeric materials for the evaluation of the viscosity-shear rate flow curve
Melt stretching tests for the measurement of melt strength of polymeric materials, with recording of load-stretching ratio curve
Melt index tests (Melt Mass Flow Rate, Melt Volume Flow Rate) according to ISO 1133 on polymeric materials

Physico-chemical analyses

The listed tests can be commissioned on behalf of a third party, contact us for more information.
