Environmental Stress Cracking Apparatus

46-06 - Testing Machines, Inc. (TMI)

The Ray-Ran Environmental Stress Cracking Apparatus determines the susceptibility of ethylene plastics to stress-cracking when exposed to different environments such as soaps, wetting agents, oils and detergents. When the material is under certain conditions of stress, these reagents can accelerate the cracking process which is one of the most common causes of unexpected brittle failure of polymers known. Designed in accordance with the ASTM D1693 international test standard, the apparatus is extremely cost effective and very simple to use.
