Failure Testing
The best test for a plastic part is one that imitates its final use. Through failure testing, plastic parts can be exposed to a more practical material test. At PSN we have the ability to perform many of these tests.
Tests Available:
- Accelerated Weathering
- Determines the effects of UV exposure over a period of time. When used in conjunction with mechanical testing, results can determine life expectancy of a product.
- Flex and Tensile Creep Tests
- This test uses constant stress applied over time to determine elongation or deformation of a material.
- Environmental Stress Cracking
- Determines the chemical resistance of a material under certain stresses. Used for packaging products and containers.
- Fatigue Testing
- Repetition of flex or tensile stress over time can limit the life span of a product. Fatigue testing exposes a material to these conditions till failure.
- Color Testing
- Color is one of the most important properties of a plastic part effecting a customer's acceptance of the product. Color testing ensures consistency of a polymer's color by comparing a sample to a constant.
- Custom Analysis
- Custom fixturing and testing procedures to fit product specific testing
