Measurement of moisture absorption distortion

We investigated the behavior of strain during moisture absorption and drying using a strain gauge!

We would like to introduce the results of our investigation into the behavior of strain during moisture absorption and drying using strain gauges. It was observed that the material expands when absorbing moisture and contracts back to its original state when drying, with the strain returning to the condition prior to moisture absorption. Regarding FR-1, it is presumed that it did not return to its original state due to changes in the chemical structure of the material caused by hydrolysis. 【Test Overview】 ■ 85℃ 50% ⇒ 85℃ 85% ⇒ 85℃ 50% ■ Test Materials ・FR-1 Paper Phenolic (single-sided board) ・FR-4 Glass Epoxy (single-sided board) ■ Strain Gauge ■ Foil Strain Gauge for Composite Materials *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

Observing the behavior of strain in thermal shock testing! The test materials used are FR-1 and FR-4.

We would like to introduce the "Strain Measurement of Thermal Shock Testing" conducted by our company. A sample with a strain gauge attached was set up in the thermal shock testing device, and the wiring of the strain gauge was connected to an external data logger to record the strain data in real-time during the test. The strain behavior during the thermal shock test was observed for two types of copper-clad laminates, and it was noted that significant strain occurred with changes in temperature. It was found that FR-1 exhibited greater strain compared to FR-4. [Test Conditions] ■ Temperature Cycle: -30°C to 120°C ■ Exposure Time at Each Temperature: 30 min ■ Test Materials - FR-1 Paper Phenolic (Double-sided board) - FR-4 Glass Epoxy (Double-sided board) ■ Strain Gauge: Foil strain gauge for printed circuit boards *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Two high-power constant temperature and humidity chambers have been introduced! Ideal for temperature cycle tests and temperature and humidity cycle tests for automotive parts and more.

At AITES Co., Ltd., we offer "environmental testing in a high-power constant temperature and humidity chamber." We can achieve a constant temperature change of up to 15°C/min (-45 to ±155°C). Temperature cycle tests can be conducted by controlling the temperature gradient. Additionally, the temperature control range is wider than that of typical constant temperature and humidity chambers, allowing control at 95°C. 【Features】 ■ Two high-power constant temperature and humidity chambers introduced ■ Constant temperature change of up to 15°C/min (-45 to ±155°C) possible ■ Temperature cycle tests can be conducted by controlling the temperature gradient ■ Wider temperature control range than typical constant temperature and humidity chambers ■ Controllable at 95°C *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

Applicable to change observation, with support for additional analysis! We evaluate the subject in a time series and non-destructive manner.

During reliability testing, the samples change continuously. Do you have any questions such as "At what point did the crack occur?", "How does the degradation progress?", or "How much has it changed from the initial state?" By combining this with reliability testing, we will evaluate the subject in a time-series and non-destructive manner. 【Features】 ■ Applicable for observing changes in whiskers, migration, pressure resistance, solder evaluation, chemical erosion tests, and aging products in the market ■ Environmental tests and observation frequency will be conducted according to customer requirements ■ Additional analyses such as electrical characteristics, SEM observation, elemental analysis, and cross-sectional observation are also available *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

In a civil engineering site material yard, not only is material storage conducted, but also the frequent movement of trucks and heavy machinery, unloading, and the movement of workers. On unpaved ground, mud and ruts can occur due to rain, which may reduce work efficiency. Hyper CLT mats are civil engineering CLT materials that utilize wood CLT. By laying them in material yards or storage areas, a work space that facilitates the movement of vehicles and heavy machinery can be established while protecting the ground. They can be laid only in necessary locations, and relocation or repurposing in accordance with construction progress is also possible. The 5×10 panel weighs approximately 230 kg, and the 5×20 panel weighs about 460 kg, making them lightweight and easy to install and remove even with small machinery. After use, they can also be utilized as temporary roads, access routes, or heavy machinery work yards. Additionally, they offer unique benefits of wood, such as glare reduction, noise suppression, and CO2 fixation. As a registered technology with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism under NETIS "TH-250021-A," these wooden mats can also be used for environmental improvement in material yards and innovative public works.
