Discontinuous stress relaxation testing
|
Less manual work, measurement will continue throughout the test after it is started. |
More manual work, needed to manually perform the measurements at certain points during the test period. |
Logging automatically and continuously which means that if wanted, it is possible to obtain measured values from any given point from the test after the test is terminated. |
No extra data is saved, only the manual taken measurements. Not possible to add extra evaluation points after the test is finalized. |
No physical movement of the rigs after the test is started. |
It has been shown that each time a rig is moved the result may be affected due to the vibration that occurs in this operation. |
Most of Elastocon’s customers around the world ask for this type of testing, several big companies have it in their company standard. |
Less customers ask for this type of test, it is included in the internal standards of some large companies. |
Possible to run tests automatically according to ISO 3384-1, ISO 3384-2 as well as ISO 6914 and other technically equivalent standards. |
No automatic testing is possible, requires a lot of manual work. But testing according to ISO 3384-1 and 3384-2 is possible of course. |
Possible to run tests automatically with either stable or cyclic temperatures. |
The temperature will not be stable throughout the whole test, the measurements will, as default, take place in ambient room temperature (can also be done within a special temperature chamber). |
Test either in compression or tension, in air/gases or liquid. |
Test in compression, air or liquid (liquid might be rather messy during the measurements). |
Automatic testing according to ISO 3384-1 method B with a programmable oven. |
|
Cycling testing according to ISO 3384-2 in temperature interval -40 to +250 °C |
