This video from ADMET shows the basics of conducting ASTM D695 rigid plastic compression testing. ASTM D695 covers mechanical properties of unreinforced and reinforced rigid plastics during ...

A new self-aligning pipe compression jig has been developed by Technical & Scientific Equipment Co. Pty. Ltd., distributors of Lloyd Instruments’ materials testing machines in Australia. The jig is ...

Although plastics have only been used for around 100 years, they have become essential to everyday life. They are employed in almost every industry and application, including packaging, healthcare, ...

Until the mid-1970s, compression testing of composite materials received relatively little attention. Up to that point it, had generally been assumed that the compressive stiffness was approximately ...

ASTM D 695 1, “Compressive Properties of Rigid Plastics,” defines the end-loading compression test method familiar to the composites community. It was introduced by ASTM Committee D20-Plastics more ...
