Choosing the right meter/mix dispensing machine requires careful evaluation of key material and process parameters to develop a precise specification, ensuring key metrics such as accuracy, output, ...

In my previous column (see “Editor's Picks,” at right), I discussed transverse flexural testing of a unidirectional composite as one method of evaluating the strength of the fiber/matrix interfacial ...

This video demonstrates a tensile test performed on plastics using a clip-on extensometer from Instron. ASTM D638 is a standard test method for determining the tensile properties of unreinforced and ...

The physical properties of plastic materials are a vital part of product design and quality control. As a result of this, numerous materials tests are carried out. The most rudimentary of these tests ...

Plastometrex develops ASTM Standard for PIP testing, giving engineers and researchers a trusted route to cost-effective mechanical testing.

Plastometrex announced that its ASTM E3499-25 for Profilometry-based Indentation Plastometry (PIP) standard has been approved.

A proposed ASTM International standard will be used to evaluate the tensile performance of fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) using cylindrical specimens with double-punch loading. A proposed ASTM ...

The importance of reliability and quality of medical devices cannot be over-estimated, as the lives, safety, and well-being of patients are at great risk and the industry is closely regulated.
