A metal’s ductility and tensile strength are good indicators of its strength and toughness. However, these two qualities alone are not enough to determine if the material is ideal for use in specific applications. Of equal importance is knowing how […]
North American DIN Abrasion Testing System A DIN abrasion tester is a machine that measures the abrasion resistance of rubbers, including thermoplastic elastomers and vulcanized thermoset rubbers. The abrasion resistance of different types of rubbers is measured in order to […]
Also known as an NBS abrasion testing machine, an NBS abrasion tester is a professionally-designed equipment specifically intended to determine the amount of resistance to abrasion possessed by vulcanized rubber, as well as other similar materials that are commonly used […]
With the growing demand in the manufacturing industry, producing highly durable products is key to staying on top of the competition. Therefore, it’s important to consider using certified testing systems for reliable results. So, what are these abrasion testers, and […]
The Impact Test Impact tests are done to observe the mechanics that materials exhibit when they experience a shock loading that cause them to deform, rupture, or fracture completely and/or immediately. Their main purpose is to identify the ability of […]
What is an automatic Blaine apparatus? It is one of the tools that are well-utilized in the cement industry. If you are wondering what it is and how it can help your enterprise, then this short guide might prove useful […]
There are several factors that you need to consider when you calibrate a Universal Testing Machine (UTM). During this process, you need to validate how accurate your UTM instruments are. You need to determine if you need calibration in compression […]
In this brief post, we are going to talk about weld sample preparation processes. After reading this post, if you have questions to ask and need to consult with an expert, you can direct those questions to NextGen Material Testing, […]
Introduction What is the Martindale abrasion test? It is a resistance test that describes the evaluation of textile materials through a fabric’s resistance to abrasion. The test is done according to the Martindale standard system. Abrasion resistance describes a fabric’s […]
Testing rubber properties is a critical part of the manufacturing process of many everyday items. These include various seals or leak protectors, articles of clothing, stationary utensils, production conveyor belts, and others.
