Understanding Random Vibration Testing and Sine Testing
Random vibration testing is an invaluable general-purpose tool for environmental vibration simulation & most common types of vibration testing services performed by vibration test labs
The Difference between Solar Climatic Test and Xenon Weathering Test
What is solar climatic testing? Solar climatic testing is the process of simulating realistic out-door environmental conditions in a natural or accelerated rate within an enclosed chamber. To simulate these conditions, a metal halide bulb is used to produce irradiance levels that correspond with those of the sun. This lamp can produce wavelengths covering notably[…]
Vibration Testing Profiles – Which Should You Perform?
There are four types vibration testing profiles; each designed to simulate the vibration energy observed on each unique system.
The decision to select the ideal profile to perform a vibration test should be depending on the environment and the goal of the test program.
Why do we do long-term creep testing?
Plastics don’t respond in the same manner with metals. Even when stressed below their yield stress, plastic materials will creep and given sufficient time under load plastics can fail. It’s critical to understand this creep characteristic when designing a CIPP liner installation.
The Differences in North American and International CIPP Flexural Test Methods
Since the CIPP industry is now effectively a global supply chain, it’s useful to examine the differences between ASTM F1218 and ISO 11296 to determine how CIPP flexural properties measured by the North American testing method compares with flexural results determined by the international method.
