MATERIAL TESTING FACILITY
Our on-site material testing facility (MTF) allows us to reliably, efficiently and professionally test our products with fast and accurate reporting of test results. Our test equipment undergoes regular maintenance and calibration in-line with industry standards.
MTF ensures that we produce products of the highest quality standard that is verified. Our test technicians are all trained and certified in the use of all equipment, ensuring that tests are accurately executed. MTF also assists us in new product development, allowing us to test the performance of new products ensuring that they meet the rigid technical specification that our clients demand. Our material testing facility has the following capabilities.
What is material testing?
Material testing is the execution of highly specific techniques that measure the characteristics and behavior's of materials. The test data obtained is then used to determine the suitability of the material for specific applications.
Why is material testing important?
Material testing is important because it determines the performance of a specific material or product under certain conditions. If a material or product is to be successful in its application, then it needs to pass every specific requirement that the product needs to deliver on. Material testing is also used to determine a material or products limitations. This will enable manufacturers to determine which applications best suit the specific material. For Zack Plas it is critical that we test our materials and products regularly to ensure that they continue to deliver superior technical performance to meet our customers’ needs.
Temperature Testing
Used to evaluate the behaviour of a product or material when exposed to varying temperatures in order to establish how the product will respond to environmental changes during use.
Environmental Stress Cracking Testing
Stress cracking results in failure of plastic materials and therefore it is important for manufacturers to test the environmental stress crack resistance of all materials used, to determine the longevity of its products.
Pressure Testing
Used to check the integrity of all couplings, joints and duct route to ensure that there are no leaks where moisture could penetrate through.
Friction & Coefficient Testing
Used to determine the frictional properties of a material or product when two surfaces in contact slide against each other.
Bending Resistance Testing
Used to determine the bend or kink resistance of a material The material is bent continuously until failure occurs determining both the load and deflection required to initiate the break limit.
Duct Integrity Testing (DIT)
Used to check that the duct is ready for fibre installation by testing various parameters such has duct alignment, air tightness, foam sponge test, mandrill test.
Impact Resistance Testing
Used to evaluate the deformation or fracturing that a material will exhibit after experiencing a shock load.
