Mechanical and analytical characterisations

A wide range of mechanical testing capabilities are offered for thermoplastics and thermosetting materials such as Tensile, Flexure, impact, shear and nano-indentation.
Nanoforce Technology operates a 10kN load frame testing station with the latest non-contacting extensometer. The extensometer allows the characterisation of delicate specimens where other "traditional" telemetry cannot be used. Applications include thin films, foils, tapes and fibres. A wide range of grips and an environmental chamber allow testing of many material types in a variety of environments to the highest level of precision, accuracy and reproducibility.

With a resolution of 1 m and maximum follow speed of 500mm/min the extensometer complies with ASTM D 638 and ASTM D 882 standards for the tensile testing of thermoplastics.
