INSTRON 4505 Dynamometer – Upgraded by ZWICK (2011)

Characterization of performance in tension, compression, peeling, tearing, and shear.

What is it for ?

The INSTRON 4505 Dynamometer upgraded by ZWICK is used to :

  • Measure the fundamental mechanical properties of materials (elasticity moduli, stresses, strains, strengths).
  • Evaluate adhesion and cohesion in multilayer materials.
  • Characterize mechanical performance under different temperature conditions.
  • Optimize formulation and quality control of materials in various industrial sectors.

Fields of application :

Composite materials, polymers, textiles, adhesives, biomaterials, metallurgy.

 

Available Measurement Types :

  • Tensile test (measurement of elongation forces until rupture).
  • Compression test (crushing resistance).
  • 3-point bending test (bending resistance).
  • Peel test at 90° and 180° (adhesion between two materials).
  • Tear test (material cohesion).
  • Shear test
  • Interlaminar shear test (sliding resistance between layers).
