Hoses can often be the forgotten part of hydraulic systems,
but their performance and condition can have a critical
impact on not only the system performance, but also on the
health and safety of your facilities and staff.
Most laboratories will have their own periodic inspection
program as part of the site’s health and safety policy. Early
indications of an impending catastrophic hose failure, such
as blistering, fitting weep, and chaffing, will often be detected
then, or as part of Instron’s professional routine system
maintenance. This specialised maintenance will also detect
more subtle failure, such as the erosion of the internal hose
wall, that can have a marked impact on the performance of
the system, especially in such areas as the servo valve.

Increase the throughput and consistency of your composites and polymers testing by optimizing the test frequency with the Specimen
Self-Heating Control. This powerful add-on is specific for WaveMatrix™ Software.
Composites and various other materials are prone to significant self-heating effects during cyclic loading, but their performance also shows strong temperature dependence. This has traditionally led to fatigue testing at very low frequencies to minimize specimen heating and the resultant degradation in mechanical properties. A test run for a single S/N dataset could mean weeks of machine time.
Specimen Self-Heating Control can significantly reduce this, while providing previously unachievable confidence in test temperature.
This patented system achieves and maintains a specified test temperature by varying test frequency in response to a specimen
temperature input.

Heavy grips and accessories can be awkward to install in
mechanical testing machines, and safety regulations limit the
amount that people can lift without risk of injury. For these
reasons it is typically necessary to use an external lifting
system – like a forklift or a crane – to lift and install grips or
accessories weighing much more than 15 kg (30 lbs). This is
typical for testing machines with capacities of 100 kN (22,000
lbf) and higher, thus requiring planning and working with
maintenance or facilities departments, all of which consumes
valuable testing time.
The Instron® GripHoist is designed to make the installation of
heavy grips possible without the use of external lifting systems.
It is intended for lifting accessories weighing up to 250 kg (500
lbs) into electromechanical or servohydraulic testing systems
that are fl oor mounted (not table mounted), and with capacities
of 100 kN (22,000 lbf) or more.
When used with Electromechanical testing systems, the moving
crosshead is used as the actual lifting mechanism, typically
with a fi xed length strap.
When used with servohydraulic testing systems, the upper
crosshead remains fi xed, and a “come-along” or other kind of
hoist is used to raise and lower the accessory.

especially in the selection of materials. Unlike metals and ceramics,
plastics are extremely sensitive to the slightest changes in temperature.
The selection of plastics for applications under different temperatures
is a complex task. The material must be able to support a stress under
operating conditions without losing its strength and without critical
distortion. The effect of temperature on geometrical stability and
mechanical properties in general can be studied following different
procedures and methods like at constant temperature or with a
temperature ramp.

Parenteral products contained in vial package systems require
a robust seal at the interface between the glass vial and the
elastomeric closure to prevent contamination and product leakage.
The seal is established in the manufacturing process, but must
withstand a variety of handling, processing and storage conditions.

Sutures are widely used in the biomedical industry. They are used in
a variety of surgical procedures to allow for wound closure and aid
in tissue healing. Sutures are manufactured from various different
absorbable and nonabsorbable materials, and may be single filament or braided with or without a coating. There are some challenges in testing sutures. Loading the specimen alone can pose problems as some sutures are delicate and require a low amount of force to fracture. Also, some sutures are used inside wounds and are constantly in a hydrated environment.
|
|
Surgical tubing is used in a wide variety of applications, such as
drains, feeding tubes, irrigation and surgical procedures, and therefore comes in many shapes and sizes. The mechanical performance of the material used is critical, as failure could seriously endanger a patient. Tensile tests are frequently performed in product development and quality control to evaluate properties of material strength and strain at break.

|
Sutures are used in a variety of different surgical procedures to
close wounds and aid in tissue healing. They are manufactured from
a variety of different absorbable and nonabsorbable materials, and
may be a single filament or braided with or without a coating. Tensile
strength is a critical measure of performance during and after surgical procedures. The strength of different knotting techniques must also be evaluated. The test method must determine breaking strength and corresponding elongation and adhere to Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidelines. Precise, consistent and reliable measures of strength and strain are essential for product development and quality control.

With continued growth in the biomaterials market, characterization of the mechanical properties of soft tissues has become a rising interest. These properties allow for the understanding of tissue function and injury mechanisms, aiding engineers and researchers in the development of bio-engineered tissues, computer assisted and remote robotic surgical methods, and injury prevention recommendations. One of the challenges in testing soft tissues arises in gripping of the specimens.
Biological tissues are often times wet, slippery or delicate. Any
combination of these characteristics leaves the existing test methods far below the ideal gripping solution. The ultimate goal lies in the fixation of soft biological tissues without causing premature failure or slippage.
|
|
Use of a hypodermic needle is the most direct method for
administering medication. The medication is usually injected
intramuscularly, where there is a rich supply of blood vessels,
or intravenously, allowing the medication to be absorbed into the
blood stream and begin acting almost immediately. Hypodermic
needles are usually manufactured out of stainless steel and
the material and design must be tested to evaluate the needle’s
maximum tensile strength and yield strength. The challenge in
testing these tubular devices is in gripping the specimen without
causing premature failure in the grip faces.
|
|
The Instron® low-force Planar Biaxial (or cruciform) System was designed to perform mechanical testing and property analyze soft tissues and biomaterials in two axes. This test system is highly configurable, designed to give maximum flexibility to soft tissue tests.

Characterization of the mechanical properties of soft tissue used in
medical applications is at the forefront of biomedical engineering,
tissue engineering and materials testing in both industry and academia.
The mechanical characteristics of living tissue are required in order to
accurately create bioengineered replacement tissues and for medical
diagnostic purposes.

A key concern for dental restorative materials and adhesives is their tensile and shear bond strength to the tooth enamel. However, alignment errors associated with angularity and concentricity of the specimen can make pure tensile and shear testing difficult. In the tensile bond strength test, load is applied perpendicular to the bond line inducing pure tensile loads. However, this can be quite difficult as alignment errors can induce bending stresses which results in premature failure and consequently yielding incorrect low results
The ISO 11405 standard seeks to address this problem with fixtures that ensure specimen alignment during test set up. The Instron BioPuls™ shear and tensile strength test fixtures meet and exceed the ISO requirements by addressing alignment of the specimen during preparation, as well as preventing loss of alignment during testing. The specimen preparation accessory follows the ISO recommendations for set up of the specimen prior to test. It comes with a complete set of tools including cups and studs for multiple test specimens.

Hydrogels are widely used in the biomedical industry for applications
such as coatings for catheters, contact lenses, scaffolds, and wound
dressings because these materials have the ability to absorb fluids
and swell up to 2000 times their original size. Hydrogels are often
implanted into the body to provide medical benefits and therefore
must be tested in a simulated environment.
|
|
Medical adhesives are widely used in the biomedical industry for applications such as bandages, secondary dressings, and wound closure. The adhesive strength of these products must be clearly defined before put to use in a clinical setting. If the adhesive is not strong enough, the product may lead to infection or poor healing. If the adhesive is too strong, the underlying tissue may become damaged upon removal.
|
|
Nitinol is a shape memory, superelastic alloy for which the biomedical industry has found extensive uses. A few examples of the numerous applications that use Nitinol include stents, dental wires, catheter guide wires, internal fracture fixation devices, biopsy forceps and others. The major challenge in testing this material is accurate strain measurements. The Instron® Advanced Video Extensometer (AVE) is a solution which allows for strain measurement of Nitinol wire in cyclic loading and to failure.
|
|
Extensometers are often used to accurately measure the deformation of a
material under mechanical loading. Due to the fragile nature of biological soft tissues, such as fascia, skin, and intestinal lining, a non-contacting extensometer is the ideal solution for measuring tensile strain in these specimens.
The AVE uses a high-resolution digital camera and advanced real-time
image processing to make precise axial and transverse (optional) strain
measurements on test specimens. Because these tissue specimens are
soft, moist, and vary in color, the challenge in acquiring strain data lies in the marking technique. The purpose of this study was to investigate different AVE marking techniques for biological tissues.

The Instron® Testmaster Automation System, configured to perform unattended tensile testing of biomedical cord and yarn specimens, provides an ideal solution for high-volume tests of medical sutures. Designed to accommodate specimens of varying lengths and thicknesses, the system utilizes barcode labels to pass specimen information and testing specifications to the Testmaster2 Automation Control Software.
A typical automated test sequence includes the following steps: The robot retrieves a batch separator with a barcode label affixed from a rack, scans the barcode, and downloads the specimen and testing information to the Testmaster2 Automation Control Software. The separator is then discarded into a bin and a specimen is retrieved from the racks and placed into the tensile frame and tested. After the test, the specimen is removed via a specimen removal device at the back of the frame, which utilizes a low-noise, industrial vacuum to aid in full removal of the tested sutures from the grips area. The robot then inserts the next specimen to be tested.

Millions of people use contact lenses on a daily basis, making
them one of the most widely used medical devices in the world.
Preferred over eyeglasses, they are used for a variety of eye
correction prescription and are manufactured in an array of
forms ranging from hard to soft lenses.
When testing lenses, loading the specimen into the grips can
pose many problems: the soft lens material is slippery and
delicate fracturs at very low forces; and the test specimens are
extremely small, providing a limited amount of gripping surface.
Contact lenses must also be tested in an environment that best
simulates physiological conditions; ambient testing results in the
drying out and cracking of the material.

ASTM D 4255 describes both 2 Rail and 3 rail methods of determining the in-plane shear strength of a composite laminate panel. In the 2 Rail test (Method A) a laminate panel specimen is clamped between loading plates and yokes and then subject to shear loading. Measurement of shear strain requires the use of strain gauges on the specimen.
|
|
ASTM C 273 describes a method of determining the shear strength of a sandwich core panel. The test the specimen is bonded to thick loading plate blocks and is subject to shear loading applied via the blocks.
|
|
The Iosipescu shear test is used to determine the shear properties of composite materials. Depending on the orientation of the specimen relative to the coordinate system of the material (i.e. the fi ber lay-up either in-plane or interlaminar shear properties can be determined).
These shear properties can include: shear modulus of elasticity,transition strain, and ultimate shear stress and strain.
|
|
Interlaminar shear testing is a simple test on, easy to prepare,polymer composite specimens that gives a measure of the strength of the bond between fibers and matrix. Another common test for polymer composites is fl exure testing. The Instron® Modular Flexural and Interlaminar Shear Strength (ILSS) bend fi xture system, with a range of interchangeable anvils, is suitable for testing to a number

The anti-buckling fixture was originally designed for rigid plastics per ASTM D 695, reinforced plastics per ASTM D 3846. It was also extended and used for high-modulus composites. Boeing then adapted the fixture so that it would be self supported between two platens to ensure consistent perpendicularity of the fixture.
The SACMA standard followed the Boeing design with an added alternative support fixture with a cutout, which would allow bonded strain gages to be used at the center of the specimen for a more precise strain measurement.
|
|
Compression testing of composites without anti-buckling guide plates, is often preferred as the free unsupported length is more representative of true compression behavior. This method relies on the accuracy of the alignment between the upper fixture and the lower fixture while introducing the compression load. In addition, the natural failure process of the specimen will induce high lateral forces that must be resisted to ensure that forces remain in true compression. Therefore, the principle behind the IITRI, Wyoming Modified Celanese and Combined Loading Compression fixtures is essentially the same.
Where they are different, is the way the compression load is being introduced – either by shear transfer from jaw faces to specimen, or a combination of shear and end loading. This is the primary difference with the CLC fixture where the shear load component is from the tightening of the screws which is combined with end loads introduced directly. The IITRI and Celanese rely on the self tightening effect from the wedge jaw faces. The Celanese fixture also allows for preloading the jaw faces by manual screws when the specimen is being installed, while the IITRI also includes end bars that could be used to introduce end loads to the specimen.
In terms of usability, the IITRI allows the largest specimens, up to 38 mm wide, but is the heaviest of the fixtures. The CLC is conceptually the simplest but care must be exercised to ensure the specimen is properly located and improper or uneven tightening of the clamping screws can affect results. The Celanese is a neat compact fixture but is limited to only 12.7 mm (0.5 in.) wide specimens.
|
|
ASTM C 297 describes a method of determining the bond strength between the facing and core of a sandwich core panel or the strength of the core itself, if the bond strength between the facing and the core is suffi ciently strong. The specimen is bonded to thick loading blocks and then subject to
tensile loading applied via the blocks.

Proper calibration of your test system is the first step in ensuring that your lab is producing high quality data and valid results. Current issues related to calibration in materials testing labs include changes to national and international standards, accreditation to ISO 17025, and uncertainty of measurement. We will discuss recent changes to force, strain, and hardness standards, the release of a new ASTM standard for displacement calibration, and other potential new standards. Since not everyone is really sure what accreditation is all about, we will give an introductory review of why accreditation has value, who performs the accreditation, and how ILAC fits into the picture. ISO 17025 requires uncertainty of measurement analyses from testing laboratories. We will give an example of how the uncertainty of calibration can affect the total uncertainty of the test results.

The recently issued ASTM standard, F2516-05: Standard Test Method for Tension Testing of Nickel-Titanium Superelastic Materials, suggests that strain measurement for nitinol specimens can be determined by machine crosshead motion, a clip-on extensometer or a video extensometer. The purpose of this study was to compare the three different methods for testing nitinol tubing. Stress-strain results reveal that the video extensometer and the clip-on extensometer provide for comparable results. However, the non-contacting video extensometer may eliminate slipping and premature failure that are common sources of error with the clip-on extensometer.

Accurate and repeatable results are the goal for any good testing program. Unique characteristics of springs, most notably coil compression springs, can cause errors that make this goal difficult to achieve. You will learn about factors such as extraneous forces, frame deflection and others that cause errors, as well as how to minimize their affects on your load testing results.
In addition, you will learn about some advanced analysis techniques some of our customers are using to differentiate their products in the market. These techniques are made possible by analyzing the entire spring characteristic curve (load vs. height) to determine multi-rate spring transition points (knees), spring non-linearity and others.

|
Steel welded wire fabric, made from either cold-worked deformed wire or a combination of deformed and non-deformed wires, is often used in concrete reinforcement. In addition to the tensile strength and bend strength of the welds that support the fabric, the shear strength of the longitudinal and transverse wires is also important to characterize.
|
|
The manufacturer of a cleaning solution that is packaged and delivered for use in the food industry has received customer complaints that the solution is leaking at some point during shipment. It is possible that the adhesive or the process used to seal the package is insufficient for preventing leakage of the solution over time. A comparison of the strength of the packaging material compared to the strength of the seal through a series of
peel tests may provide insight into the problem.
|
|
The Advanced Video Extensometer (AVE) has the ability to measure axial and transverse strain without contacting the specimen. Such non-contacting strain measurement is advantageous for testing thin and delicate specimens. The purpose of this test was to evaluate the AVE as a tool for calculating Poisson's Ratio in strips of polymer membranes in accorance with ASTM D 882.
|
|
A manufacturer of conveyer belt material was experiencing problems when trying to test their product in tension. The conveyer belt samples either slipped out of the jaw faces due to the inherent lubricity of the material or the test resulted with a jaw break. Samples were sent in to determine if there was a configuration available to resolve this issue.
|
|
Sheet metal tensile testing applications require the use of an extensometer to comply with relevant ASTM and ISO testing standards accuracy requirements. In some cases, the thickness of the specimens may be too thin for use with a traditional clip-on extensometer. Developments in the technology of extensometry offer metals testing customers other options, such as the Instron® Advanced Video Extensometer (AVE) for testing aluminum specimens in tension.
|
|

|
|
Sheet metal testing applications require calculations such as yield strength, yield point elongation, ultimate tensile strength, plastic strain ratio ('r' value)and the strain hardening exponent ('n' value). These calculations place a high physical demand on traditional contacting extensometers. The purpose of this testing was to evaluate the Advanced Video Extensometer (AVE) for performing non-contacting strain measurement on steel specimens.
|
|
A manufacturer of ammunition pellets used in a variety of firearms uses an Instron® electromechanical test system to evaluate the compressive strength of the pellets and the type of deformation they exhibit under load.

employee surveys.
|
|
A manufacturer of composite materials uses an Instron® electromechanical testing system and 3-point bend fixture to determine the flexural modulus, flexural strength and flexural strain of their composite bars. The test was conducted according to the ASTM D 790, "Standard Test Method for Flexural Properties of Unreinforced and Reinforced Plastics and Electrical
Insulating Materials".
|
|
There are two common challenges in conducting high-speed, low-force
testing. The first challenge is overcoming the inertial force resulting from acceleration of the upper grip and the crosshead. The second challenge is to reduce the amplitude of the resonant frequency resulting from the combination of a high rate of crosshead extension and the grips and load cell used. The purpose of this testing was to isolate these issues and provide a solution for minimizing their effects.
|
|
A manufacturer of copy paper needs to investigate the cause of copy machine failure as a result of frequent paper jams. A Coefficient of Friction (COF) test was recommended to measure the static and kinetic coefficients of friction between two sheets of paper. Because no specific testing standard outlines a method for this type of material, ASTM D 1894 "Standard Test Method for Static and Kinetic Coefficient of Friction of Plastic Film and Sheeting" was followed.
|
|

Stainless steel tubing (or any other variety of rigid metallic tubing) can be difficult to test in tension for two reasons. Standard methods of gripping will cause the tubing to collapse and lead to pre-mature failure of the specimen. Strain measurement is also usually not possible with traditional clip-on extensometers because the knife-edges lead to high stress concentrations and
consequently failure of the thin specimen wall. The purpose of this testing was to recommend a gripping solution and evaluate the use of the Advanced Video Extensometer (AVE) for accurate, non-contacting strain measurement.
