CEAST HDT Vicat Series HV500

The effect of temperature on the mechanical properties of plastic materials has a fundamental role in the design of components, especially in the selection of materials. Unlike metals and ceramics, plastics are extremely sensitive to the slightest changes in temperature. The selection of plastics for applications under different temperatures is a complex task. The material must be able to support a stress under operating conditions without losing its strength and without critical distortion. The effect of temperature on geometrical stability and mechanical properties in general can be studied following different procedures and methods like at constant temperature or with a temperature ramp. From very simple units for QC labs to more advanced and automated systems, the Instron line of CEAST Thermal testers are designed to measure the heat deflection temperature (HDT) and the Vicat softening temperature (VST) according to the related ISO and ASTM international standards.

E3000® Combined POD

The ElectroPuls® E3000 Linear-Torsion is a state-of-the-art, all-electric test instrument designed for dynamic and static testing on a wide range of materials and components. It includes Instron® advanced digital control electronics, bi-axial DynacellTM load cell, Console software, and the very latest in testing technology – hassle-free tuning based on specimen stiffness, electrically operated crosshead lifts, a T-slot table for flexible test set ups and a host of other user-orientated features. Powered from a single-phase supply it requires no additional utilities for basic machine operation (for example, pneumatic air, hydraulics, or water).

Speed And Displacement Verification - Instron® Professional Services

Instron has long been a leader in measuring and verifying speed and displacement and was an active participant in developing the ASTM Speed and Displacement Verification standards. These services ensure that testing parameters are being met and that associated results are being calculated accurately. To further maximize confidence, Instron is also accredited by NVLAP under lab code 200301-0 to ISO/IEC 17025.

Averaging Axial and Biaxial Clip-On Extensometers

These bi-axial and averaging axial clip-on extensometers use strain gauges for measurement and are constructed from high-strength aluminum, titanium, and stainless steel. All of the extensometers feature simple, single-handed operation. The extensometer incorporates automatic electrical calibration and transducer recognition including a unique digital serial number.

2810-400 Flexure Fixture

The 2810-400 flexure fixture allows a variety of flexural tests to be performed, including determination of flexural modulus,flexural strength and flexural yield strength. Easy-to-install, the three-point fixture can be modified with an optional conversion kit to provide a four-point bending conversion

BioBox | Catalog Numbers CP110013, 110012, 110015

The lnstron® BioBox meets the growing trend of testing medical devices and biomaterials at body temperature (37°С). For large or long devices, testing in а liquid may not bе practical. As an alternative, testing inside а controlled air environment at body temperature provides а powerful solution.

6800 Series | Safety Without Sacrificing Throughput

With the all-new 6800 Series, Instron invested in ways to make materials testing equipment safer than ever before to help protect operators, equipment, and specimens without sacrificing throughput.
