Testing a plastic’s mechanical properties determines if it will meet the requirements of your application. The behavior of plastics under stress depends on the length of time they are exposed to the stress and the temperature the exposure occurs. Plastics testing applications vary so choose the category that most closely fits your application to learn more.
Plastic Testing Solutions
Choose from a wide variety of test machines for all your plastic testing applications. Each machine is configured to match your application requirements. Our unique modular design offers flexible systems with the capability to adapt according to your future needs.
Plastics are rate dependent materials, and so require test machines that feature constant rate of crosshead movement, load or strain rate control. The vast majority of standard plastics tests require a constant rate of crosshead movement, or cre test machine.
Custom 5 Gallon Pail Crush Test System
| One of the largest pail manufacturers in the industry came to us for a test system that would be versatile enough to test various styles and combinations of caps and pails. |
|
The Solution
- Crush pails up to 6,000 lbs
- Determine the capping force and failure force of a single pail
- Compression platen for testing the seal on the pail lid
- Determine failure force of stacked pails for storage and shipping information
- Large dual column design for testing stacked pails
- Accommodates various styles, sizes and combinations of caps and pails
Our trial testing results and low prices made us the best choice. Due to the success of the 1st system, they are putting a system in each of their manufacturing locations.

Popular Plastic Tests
The applications for plastic materials are broad because the mechanical properties of plastics are defined by their molecular makeup which may be customized to meet the requirements of the desired application. The more common forms of plastics and their applications are styrene foam or Styrofoam which is used as insulation and packaging, PVC which is used in plumbing and nylon which is a flexible yet strong material used in the clothing industry.
