Principle
Mould-base and inserts
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
- Tensile ISO527-2
- Impact ISO179-1/2 (Charpy) or ISO180 (Izod) - centre part
- Bending tests ISO 178 - middle part
- HDT ISO75-2 - middle part
- VST ISO306 - middle part
- DMA analyses ISO6721-3/5 - middle part
- Hardness ISO868 (Shore A/D) - minimal required thickness = 4mm!
Insert ISO A: samples type 1A weldline
- Same as previous type but with weldline in middle of sample
