Tensile test

Testing service for plastic films using a universal testing machine (autograph) in a heated environment!

The "tensile test" is a test that measures the load and displacement (elongation) when a material is pulled at a constant speed, in order to determine the physical and mechanical properties of the material. By pulling the test specimen in a constant temperature chamber, it is possible to determine and understand the temperature dependence of these properties. Our company is capable of conducting material property tests under temperature-controlled environments. We can also propose conditions tailored to the materials and properties you wish to measure. Please feel free to consult with us. 【Test Equipment Specifications】 ■ Constant Temperature Chamber Temperature Range: -40 to 250℃ ■ Load Cell: 50kN, 1kN ■ Load Accuracy: ±1% of load indication value ■ Test Speed: 0.0005 to 1000 mm/min ■ Travel Distance ・Tensile Test Section: 1485 mm *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Useful for long-term quality control! Ultra-microhardness measurement of materials such as metals, polymers, and ceramics.

Our "Ultra-Micro Hardness Measurement for Material Evaluation" allows for the ultra-micro hardness measurement of materials such as metals, polymers, plastics, and ceramics. Additionally, since hardness can be quantified, it is also useful for long-term quality control. The hardness is determined by directly reading the depth of the indentation while applying a load to the indenter. It is also possible to determine characteristic values related to recovery behavior. 【Device Overview】 ■ Test force range: 0.4mN to 1000mN, Accuracy: ±0.02mN ■ Indentation range: 1nm (0.01μm) to 700μm *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Leave it to us for everything from chemical analysis and physical testing to reliability testing! Introduction to our measurement and evaluation services.

Plastic extrusion/injection molding processing is set according to the heat resistance temperature (melting point Tm) of the raw materials, but due to the degradation and alteration of the materials, there are cases where molding becomes difficult at the specified setting temperature. By checking the melt flow rate (MFR) of plastic raw material pellets or powders, it is possible to determine whether there are any changes compared to conventional products. We present a case where untreated (no load), temperature and humidity load (constant temperature and humidity test), and UV-irradiated PP (polypropylene) were injected and evaluated at a temperature of 230°C and a load of 5kg, so please take a look at the PDF download. [Evaluation Case] ■PP: Polypropylene ■8585: 85°C 85% × 336 hours ■UV: UV irradiation 253.7nm × 336 hours ■Injection time: 10 minutes (converted from 3 minutes) *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

Essential materials alongside metals and inorganic materials! Introducing examples of analysis and evaluation services for organic materials.

Organic materials such as solvents, additives, pharmaceuticals, and plastics are essential materials alongside metals and inorganic materials. They have a wide variety of types due to combinations of light elements, and their specificity arises from structures, intermolecular forces, and electron behavior. However, it seems that chemical instrumentation analysis and evaluation are necessary for a fundamental understanding of their properties. This document presents examples of analysis and evaluation services for organic materials. [Contents] ■ FT-IR analysis ■ GC-MS analysis ■ Molecular weight distribution evaluation by GPC (SEC) *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

The analysis device also supports the analysis and evaluation of polymers! Information on the configuration and principles of high-temperature SEC equipment is provided!

The molecular weight of resins such as plastics is not a single value but is composed of multiple molecular weights. By understanding this molecular weight and its distribution, it leads to a better understanding of the characteristics and degradation mechanisms of the resin. In this document, we will introduce a case study where we measured polypropylene resin (PP) samples with and without ultraviolet (UV) irradiation using a high-temperature GPC device suitable for measuring polyolefin-based materials that are difficult to dissolve in solvents at room temperature, and conducted data analysis. We encourage you to read it.

We have released a new video on our company’s YouTube channel. The theme of this video is "The World of Amino Acid-Based Shampoos." Amino acid-based shampoos have become popular in recent years, but the lather, feel, and finish can vary greatly depending on the cleansing ingredients used. In this video, we clearly explain the changes in user experience based on the differences in cleansing ingredients by comparing two types of amino acid-based shampoos. We hope you can use this as a hint for developing original shampoos and differentiation.

[To the owners of parking lots and parking lot construction companies] "I’m worried about not colliding with pedestrians when exiting the parking lot..." Among vehicle entrances to parking lots, stores, residences, and factories, those particularly facing sidewalks or roadways are expected to pose risks of dangerous incidents such as collisions with pedestrians or between vehicles. To alleviate such concerns, Hotron proposes a [Vehicle Exit Warning Sensor] that detects vehicle departures using various sensors and alerts the surroundings with LED lights and buzzers. The device consists of a simple configuration of "Sensor" + "Controller" + "Switching Power Supply (24V)" + "LED Rotating Light." *Please note that a separate control panel is required to include the controller and switching power supply (24V) when using the exit warning system. *We kindly ask that customers arrange for the switching power supply (24V), LED rotating light, control panel, circuit breakers, etc. Since it can be retrofitted, it can also be used for existing parking lot entrances. We hope this will contribute to safer vehicle passage for everyone. ◎ For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Conventional welding repair methods can alter the base material around the crack due to heat, leading to residual stress and deformation, which always carries the risk of "crack recurrence" and "secondary damage." Hinode Water Supply Equipment Co., Ltd.'s "Mechanical Stitching Method" is a new technique that allows for metal crack repair without applying heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, the crack is physically removed without affecting the base material with heat. Repairs can be made even in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized. For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.
