The CIEST Laboratory successfully completed testing pipe liner samples for “apparent hoop tensile strength” as described in ASTM D2290. The method uses a split disk to apply tensile forces to a hoop ...

Back in April 2015, my CW column focused on the two ASTM standardized test methods used for measuring the through-the-thickness, or interlaminar, tensile strength of composite laminates. Despite their ...

One material property that is widely used and recognized is the strength of a material. But what does the word "strength" mean? "Strength" can have many meanings, so let us take a closer look at what ...

Testing laboratories are utilized by all manner of businesses to provide objective analytical data on the quality of a product or a process. Some companies look to testing labs for product ...

What is Tensile Testing and how can it be used to determine how something will react when it is pulled apart - when a force is applied to it in tension? Tensile testing is one of the simplest and most ...
