Physical Testing Equipment Range

Materials possess a wide range of quantitative properties, such as physical strength or thickness. These may be a constant or a function of another property e.g. Temperature. In most applications, specific properties will be critical to the performance of the material for the intended purpose. Measurement and control of these properties is therefore crucial.

Testing equipment is used to simulate conditions and measure the materials response. Properties may be used to compare the benefits of one material or supplier versus another, thereby aiding in material selection and ongoing quality control.

Properties can vary according to the way in which they are measured e.g. material direction, therefore many internationally recognised testing standards have been developed to help achieve standardisation, commonly ASTM, ISO, FINAT, BS, DIN, JIS and TAPPI.

RDM Test Equipment can help you to select the most appropriate tests to define your materials and control your processes.
