Tensile Testing of Thin-Walled Surgical Tubing with a Long Travel Extensometer

Tensile Testing of Thin-Walled Surgical Tubing with a Long Travel Extensometer

Surgical tubing is used in a wide variety of applications, such as
drains, feeding tubes, irrigation and surgical procedures, and therefore comes in many shapes and sizes. The mechanical performance of the material used is critical, as failure could seriously endanger a patient. Tensile tests are frequently performed in product development and quality control to evaluate properties of material strength and strain at break.

Strain Measurement Techniques for Composites Coupon Testing

Strain Measurement Techniques for Composites Coupon Testing

Most approaches to strain measurement in Composites Coupon testing use contacting methods involving bonded strain gauges or clip-on extensometers. Recent developments in non-contacting strain measurement mean these systems now offer similar performance to traditional contacting systems, as well as providing significant other benefits such as the ability to provide full field strain maps.

High-Temperature Extensometers | CP118413

High-Temperature Extensometers | CP118413

The Instron range of High-Temperature Extensometers are ideally suited for testing materials such as advanced composites, metals, and polymers at elevated temperatures. This series incorporates a capacitive sensor that does not require any cooling. The extensometers are supplied with a special sensor conditioner unit providing a 0-10 V output with exceptionally low noise. These extensometers can be attached to round and flat specimens to perform tensile, compression, and cyclic tests.

Spinal Implants

Spinal Implants

The Instron® spinal fixture is designed to meet ASTM F1717-12 requirements. In accordance to the standard, the UHMWPE blocks
are attached to the spinal fixture. The design of the blocks can differ, according to the clinical application at the intended spinal
location. The way that the blocks are connected to the fixture allow a degree of freedom when performing bending compression,
bending tensile, and torsional testing.
