ASTM A 497/185 – Shear Weld Strength for Steel Welded Wire Fabric
Steel welded wire fabric, made from either cold-worked deformed wire or a combination of deformed and non-deformed wires, is often used in concrete reinforcement. In addition to the tensile strength and bend strength of the welds that support the fabric, the shear strength of the longitudinal and transverse wires is also important to characterize.

Seal Strength Investigation
The manufacturer of a cleaning solution that is packaged and delivered for use in the food industry has received customer complaints that the solution is leaking at some point during shipment. It is possible that the adhesive or the process used to seal the package is insufficient for preventing leakage of the solution over time. A comparison of the strength of the packaging material compared to the strength of the seal through a series of
peel tests may provide insight into the problem.

Unique Gripping Method for Testing High Strength Fabrics in Tension
A manufacturer of conveyer belt material was experiencing problems when trying to test their product in tension. The conveyer belt samples either slipped out of the jaw faces due to the inherent lubricity of the material or the test resulted with a jaw break. Samples were sent in to determine if there was a configuration available to resolve this issue.

R&N Testing Using a Video Extensometer – Steel Specimens
Sheet metal testing applications require calculations such as yield strength, yield point elongation, ultimate tensile strength, plastic strain ratio (‘r’ value)and the strain hardening exponent (‘n’ value). These calculations place a high physical demand on traditional contacting extensometers. The purpose of this testing was to evaluate the Advanced Video Extensometer (AVE) for performing non-contacting strain measurement on steel specimens.

Compressive Strength and Shelf Life of Teflon Pellets
A manufacturer of ammunition pellets used in a variety of firearms uses an Instron® electromechanical test system to evaluate the compressive strength of the pellets and the type of deformation they exhibit under load. Further, the shelf life of these pellets must also be quantified in order to guarantee performance over time.

Calculation of Poisson’s Ratio for Foam Used in Space Shuttle Construction
Characterization of the mechanical properties of materials used in space flight is at the forefront of research and development activities for NASA. One such test required the calculation of Poisson’s Ratio, a measure of a material’s compressibility, on foam material used in the construction of space shuttles in accordance with ASTM D 1623, “Standard test method for tensile and
tensile adhesion properties of rigid cellular materials”.

Unique Compression Method for Evaluating Pillow Comfort
Evaluation of a pillow’s comfort or firmness has historically relied on surveys completed by employees or customers’ feedback. In an attempt to quantify these measures of comfort, one pillow manufacturer delivered several pillow specimens to Instron® to explore testing configurations that could produce repeatable data to correlate with that generated from the customer and
employee surveys.

Reduction of Inertial Effects Resulting from High-Speed, Low-Force Testing
There are two common challenges in conducting high-speed, low-force
testing. The first challenge is overcoming the inertial force resulting from acceleration of the upper grip and the crosshead. The second challenge is to reduce the amplitude of the resonant frequency resulting from the combination of a high rate of crosshead extension and the grips and load cell used. The purpose of this testing was to isolate these issues and provide a solution for minimizing their effects.

Coefficient of Friction of Paper Used in a Copy Machine
A manufacturer of copy paper needs to investigate the cause of copy machine failure as a result of frequent paper jams. A Coefficient of Friction (COF) test was recommended to measure the static and kinetic coefficients of friction between two sheets of paper. Because no specific testing standard outlines a method for this type of material, ASTM D 1894 “Standard Test Method for Static and Kinetic Coefficient of Friction of Plastic Film and Sheeting” was followed.
