ISO certified mould according to ISO 3167:2014 / ASTM D638 - 14
Production of test samples
Testing lab
Plastic characterization
Testing standard
ISO 3167:2014; ASTM D638 - 14
Principle
A certified mould is used to produce predetermined ISO test samples from various raw materials.
The modular system allows swift changes between geometries.
Testing procedure
The test samples are produced by means of injection moulding according to the client's specifications or datasheets of the material.
It is also possible to measure the mould pressure and temperature.
Testing applications
Injection moulding samples and corresponding tests
The inserts are multicavities, which means that for most of them 2 or 4 samples are injected per shot.
Insert ISO A: samples type 1A dumbbell
