Digital Controller Accessories
Electronic or electrical devices that can be added to an existing controller include transducer conditioner channels for use with extensometry, analog outputs and firmware options. The type of controller you have determines the various features and capabilities that are available. In most cases the model number of your load frame defines the type of control electronics incorporated in your testing system. For example, model 5585 uses a 5500 series controller. If your system does not have any of the listed types of controller, please contact your local Instron® office to discuss your requiremen…

Load Cells
Load cells convert the force experienced by the specimen into an electrical signal that is used by the electronic controller to precisely monitor, report or control the force. Materials testing is unlike an application such as weighing because not only are forces changing dynamically, but they are often not applied in a truly axial fashion. In order to minimize the force measurement errors that can result from these effects, Instron® supplies a range of different load cells, each designed specifically for materials testing. For example, the patented Dynacell™ range of fatigue-rated load cells …

Computer Hardware and Digital Interfaces
Software has become an integral part of many modern materials testing systems. When the time comes to take that first step in computerizing your system or to update your existing PC hardware we recommend that you contact us to discuss the best route forward. There are software and hardware compatibility issues that need careful consideration to ensure successful installation. All PC systems supplied by Instron® come with a full Instron warranty and have been thoroughly checked for software and hardware compatibility. When ordered with the PC, interface cards are also installed and checked. Com…

Torsional and Axial Torsional Grips
Torsion grips are designed to transmit torsional forces to the specimen and usually employ either a collet or socket-style gripping arrangement. Specific types of testing systems are required to apply torsional loading, so please check that your system includes torsional capability. Typical applications include medical devices, packaging, and fasteners. Axial torsional grips are used in conjunction with systems able to apply both torsional and axial loads to a specimen simultaneously. Applications include biomedical testing of prostheses.

Application Overviews - Plastics
Polymers are utilized in virtually every facet of human activity and industry - from packaging to automotive, electronics to healthcare, and construction to aerospace. The list is endless. Replacement of traditional materials such as metals with polymers is largely due to the cost-effectiveness and many superior attributes of plastic. The electrical insulation, color, strength, and high-speed molding qualities have made plastics well-suited for electrical appliances ranging from handheld mixers and hair dryers to power tools and automotive components. The aircraft and aerospace industries have…

Application Overview - Elastomers
Elastomers are used in varying applications from automotive in the form of tires, to household applications, gloves for example. However, there are many others, including hoses, drive belts, seals, building products, anti-vibration mountings, medical products and leisure goods. They range from natural latex rubber to highly-engineered synthetic materials for critical engineering applications. Elastomers typically show characteristics of high elongation, energy absorption, and can experience violent failures. Mechanical characterization of the properties of elastomers is critical in the develop…

Application Overviews - Textiles
The textile industry manufactures fabrics, cords, yarns and individual fibers, all of which may be either natural or synthetic materials. Testing of textile properties is widely used to determine tenacity, elongation, tensile strength, and many other parameters. Many test specifications relate to the end use, including the testing of tire cord for strength and adhesion, grab tests, fabric seam slippage, tear, and puncture tests. Standardization of test methods is well established in the textile industry, with specifications requiring control of parameters including temperature and humidity. So…

Application Overview - Composites
Composite materials are composed of two or more distinct phases, usually a reinforcing fiber within a binder or matrix. The concept of increasing strength and toughness by adding fibers to binders is very old; mud bricks containing straw or animal hair are among the first examples. However, it is only relatively recent that composites as we currently recognize them have become widely used. Today, fiber-reinforced composites are at the heart of the materials revolution. Composites have advantages of design flexibility, high stiffness and strength, low weight and cost savings. One unique attribu…
