Technical Articles

BRUNEL - PIPE SAMPLE MILLING MACHINE
Brunel Pipe Test Samples. - A small machine for a big job

BULK DENSITY APPARATUS
Bulk Density Apparatus - Ideal for powders, granules and flakes.

CAD to CNC PROGRAMMING MADE EASIER
CAD to CNC Programming. - The procedure made easiy using Ray-Ran CNC milling machine.

CNC MILLING CUTTERS
Cutters for CNC Milling - They have been specially developed for polymer materials.

CNC TEST SAMPLE MILLING MACHINE
Test Sample Milling Machine - Dedicated to machining polymer materials.

COLD FLEX TEMPERATURE
Cold Flex Temperature - Based on BS 2782 : Part 1 : 1970

COMPONENT IMPACT TESTER - simple and cost effective.
Pendulum Impact Testing. - The versitility of this apparatus is often overlooked.

DENSITY BY THE BUOYANCY METHOD
- Density by the Buoyancy Method. - Still one of the most reliable methods thanks to Archimedes

DENSITY GRADIENT WITH A MICROPROCESSOR CONTROLLED FILLING SYSTEM
The Microprocessor Controlled Filling System gives the Density Gradient a new lease of life and brings it into the modern age.

DIGITAL READOUT DENSITY COLUMN
Digital Readout Density Column - Brings an old product up to date.

ENVIRONMENTAL STRESS CRACKING
Environmental Stress cracking - Could global warming in the next decads mean in some areas more product testing on some polymer materials will be required

FILM TRAMMEL CUTTER
- Ideal for very thin materials

HARDNESS TESTER FOR PLASTIC MATERIALS
Measuring the Hardness of soft material. - Often this can sometimes more a skill than a science when using hand held instruments

IMPACT TESTER - Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition - SCADA
A Pendulum Impact Tester with a SCADC control system

IMPACT TESTING - FALLING WEIGHT
Falling Weight Impact Testing - A very quick and simple way to evaluate product performance.

LOW TEMPERATURE BRITTLENESS TESTING
Low Temperature brittleness Testing

MELT FLOW INDEX - HISTOGRAM RESULTS
Multi - Slicing Test Results A Clearer Picture - Shows polymer characteristics not abtained by a single average result.

MOULDING APPARATUS FOR TEST SAMPLES
Small Test Sample Moulding Apparatus Often pays for itself within the first year.

NOTCHING CUTTER -Plays a vital role in Impact Testing
The Notching Cutter is often not given the same prioity or attention as the actual test equipment that perform the tests. However, inferior test samples can never give accurate results no matter how good the test equipment is.

OVERVIEW OF FRICTION
An Overview of Friction Try to imagine what is happening before doing any calculations

POLYMER TEST SAMPLES
Polymer Test Samples - The quality of the test samplea are just as important as the accuracy of the testing machines if good test results are to be obtained.

PRESS CUTTING TEST SAMPLES
Cutting Out Test Samples With A Press

PUNCTURE IMPACT TESTING
Puncture Impact Testing The pendulum method is accurate and reliable

PUNCTURE TESTING - a new approach
Impact Puncture Testing More accuate and more user friendly that a Falling Dart Method.

QUICK REFERENCE TO UNITS
Units are sometimes difficult to carry in your head - Many older people still get confused with the different unit systems they have been forced to use when growing up.

SLIDING FRICTION CAN HOLD SOME SURPRISES
Sliding Friction Between Plastic Surfaces - Rarely produce a constant coefficient of friction value.

THE TRANSITION FROM STATIC TO DYNAMIC FRICTION
Coefficient of Friction Apparatus - Measuring the transition from static to dynamic friction can pose instrumentation challenges because as soon as the onset of motion has been detected, the coefficient of friction has already started to change from static to dynamic.

THERMAL AGEING OF INSULATION MATERIAL
Thermal Ageing OF iNSULATION MATERIAL - This is an accelerated test to provide results and predict the service life of materials well in advance of production and so prevent problems occurring in the future.

THERMAL SHRINKAGE OF PLASTIC FILMS
Thermal Shinkage of Film Materials - It is predominately a characteristic of the production methods which induces residual stresses within the material.
