Laboratory measurement of elasticity on polymers
As a manufacturer, you want to measure the elasticity of a polymer.
What is a laboratory elasticity test?
An elasticity test is a method of assessing a material’s response to an applied stress or force. It is mainly used to measure the ability of a material to return to its original shape after being deformed. The elasticity test is used to determine the mechanical properties of a material, such as its stiffness, strength and ability to absorb energy.
Why carry out elasticity tests on your materials?
Laboratory elasticity testing can be carried out for a number of reasons:
- to assess the mechanical properties of a material, such as its stiffness, strength and ability to absorb energy.
- compare the performance of different materials and select the one best suited to a given application
- check the quality of materials used in the manufacture of products
- study the behaviour of a material under different loads and conditions, optimise its properties and understand its potential for application in new fields.
- ensure that the materials used comply with safety and performance standards. Elasticity tests are used to ensure that materials meet these requirements and to provide reliable data on their behaviour under stress or overload.
