ASTM D1002 Lap Shear

The strength of adhesive bonds depends greatly upon the conditions under which the bonding process is carried out and the testing for which is described in ASTM D 1002, Lap Shear Strength of Adhesively Bonded Metal Specimens. This report demonstrates the capabilities of the Instron test frame and software for testing in accorandance to this standard.

EM Environmental Impact Statement

Statement on the Environmental Impact of Instron Electromechanical Testing Machines.
Instron electromechanical machines are designed to produce no adverse environmental impact during normal use as long as they are operated and serviced in accordance with their operating instructions.

Peel Testing to ASTM F-88 with the In-Spec 2200

Application Report – Flexible medical packaging testing the integrity of seams and/or welds. This application note highlights the use of the In-Spec 2200 to test flexible packaging samples to ASTM F-88. – AR_PeelTesting_001a_0403

Texture Testing of Salmon Fillets

Application Report – Salmon fillets can exhibit different textures that are generally associated with subjective quality measures. The objective of this test was to make quantitative measurements to determine the texture – and hence quality – of salmon fillets.- pod_AR_fidh_001a_0902

Compression Strength of Fresh Eggs

Application Report to assess the ability of the In-Spec 2200 Bench-top Mechanical Tester to perform strength tests on fresh eggs. This was done for demonstration purposes only. – ar_CompressionStrengthofFreshEggs_rev2_0204

Back Extrusion Of Pizza Dough

This test was to assess the ability of the In-Spec 2200 Bench-Top Mechanical Tester to perform back extrusion tests on dough. This was done for demonstration purposes only. ar_DoughTest_rev2_0404

Peel Tests On Paper Filter Welds

Application Report to assess the ability of the In-Spec 2200 Mechanical Tester to perform peel tests on paper filter welds. This was done without any special fixturing, for demonstration purposes only. POD_AR_peel_001A_0902

Catapult

Hydropuls Crash Simulation System. Our servohydraulic Catapult works in a non-destructive way. The System is designed so that all applications currently available, e.g. Pitching, Sled-on-Sled Test, Side Impact Simultation etc. can be retrofitted at a later stage.

RS MePar

The software package RS MePar(Mechanical Parameters)is a Softwaremodule out of the RS LabSite Software Suit for determining the characteristics of components with visco-elastic properties.
