Plastic materials are engineered to perform in a variety of demanding environments. Their properties vary widely depending on formulation, additives, and processing. For manufacturers, testing plastic materials for mechanical strength, impact resistance, thermal behavior, and long-term performance is critical. Shijiazhuang Zhongshi Testing Machine Co., Ltd. offers a complete range of plastic material testing equipments to help manufacturers and research institutions evaluate plastic performance with precision.
Types of Tests and Equipment
Universal Testing Machines (UTM): Perform tensile, compression, and flexural tests to determine mechanical strength and deformation characteristics.
Impact Testing Systems: Instruments such as Charpy and Izod testers evaluate the material’s resistance to sudden impacts.
Thermal Analysis Equipment: Includes DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry) and TGA (Thermogravimetric Analysis) to measure melting point, thermal degradation, and crystallization behavior.
Hardness Testers: Determine surface hardness using Rockwell, Shore, or Barcol scales depending on the application.
Melt Flow Index Testers: Measure the flow rate of molten plastic to assess processability and material stability.
Real-World Applications
Consumer Goods: From packaging to appliances, plastics must be lightweight, strong, and durable.
Automotive Parts: Plastic dashboards, clips, and under-hood components require testing for vibration resistance, temperature tolerance, and strength.
Electronics and Electricals: Housing materials must resist heat and mechanical damage, and meet insulation requirements.
Pipes and Fittings: Materials must withstand internal pressure and external stress in both residential and industrial plumbing.
Data Recording and Software Integration
Advanced models from Shijiazhuang Zhongshi Testing Machine Co., Ltd. offer touchscreen controls, data acquisition systems, and report generation tools to ensure traceability and compliance with global standards such as ISO, ASTM, and GB.
