Tensile testing of flexible plasticyne products to ASTM D638

The following article demonstrates the diversity of the Universal testing machines manufactured by Tinius Olsen.

Recently we were approached by a leading Plastics packing company - RAK Petropack in Ras Al Khaimah, UAE to provide a testing solution for their plastics lab.

We supplied them with a complete testing solution as detailed below:

1. Tensile testing for flexible plastic sheets from 100 to 150 microns thick,
2. 90 degree Peel Testing with moving Base Sledge,
3. Coefficient of friction testing to ASTM D1894/ BS 2782 Part 8
4. Falling dart Impact Test,
5. Haze and Gloss measurement
6. Other instruments such as ovens, weighing scales and thermometers.

The following video is a demonstration of a live sample being tested:
