Mechanical Properties in Plastic Testing

Mechanical properties describe how a plastic material responds when subjected to external forces such as tension, bending, impact, compression, or shear.

These properties are essential for predicting real-world performance and ensuring materials meet engineering design requirements.

Testing typically covers strength, stiffness, toughness, deformation behaviour, and failure characteristics using standards like ASTM D638, D790, D256, D695, ISO 527, ISO 178, etc.

Our Mechanical Properties Testing Services

Tensile Strength

We measure the maximum tensile stress a plastic material can withstand before breaking, providing insights into its strength and load-bearing capacity.

Flexural Strength

By subjecting plastic specimens to bending forces, we determine their resistance to deformation and ability to withstand applied loads.

Impact Strength

Our testing assesses the ability of plastic materials to withstand sudden impact or shock without fracture or failure, providing critical information about their durability.

Hardness

We measure the resistance of plastic materials to indentation or scratching, helping determine their resistance to wear and abrasion.

Compression Strength

By applying compressive forces to plastic samples, we evaluate their ability to withstand compression and maintain their structural integrity.

Fracture Toughness

Our testing determines the ability of plastic materials to resist crack propagation and fracture, providing insights into their resistance to catastrophic failure.

Fatigue Strength

We assess the ability of plastic materials to withstand cyclic loading and repetitive stress, crucial for applications requiring long-term durability.

Creep Resistance

By subjecting plastic specimens to prolonged stress, we evaluate their ability to resist deformation over time, important for applications where dimensional stability is critical.

Poisson’s Ratio

We measure the ratio of lateral strain to axial strain in plastic materials, providing insights into their behavior under different loading conditions.

Modulus of Elasticity

Our testing determines the stiffness and rigidity of plastic materials, indicating their ability to return to their original shape after deformation.
