Breaking strength, measurement

Young moduli and breaking strength (measured by an Instron apparatus) of pectin gel and of extruded citrus fibre at different concentrations ( 60% sucrose, pH 3)... 

Breaking strength measurements on commerical pectins have shown that different pectins standardized to 150° SAG will differ significantly in breaking strength depending on the peel source. 

The loop strength ratio on the other hand is defined as the ratio of the loop breaking strength as measured in accordance with BS 1932. Part 2 to twwe the yarn breaking strength measured in accordance with ISO 2062,... 

For some dipped work, wet gel strength measurement is carried out, where the gel is deposited onto preformed, tissue paper dumbeUs, and the load necessary to break the dumbeU-shaped test piece is measured. 

A question may develop as to whether or not the wire rope complies with the oversize tolerance. In such cases, a tension of not less than 10% nor more than 20% of nominal required breaking strength is applied to the rope, and the rope is measured while under this tension. 

Well-measuring strands shall conform to the properties listed in Table 4-29. To test finished strands to their breaking strength, suitable sockets or other acceptable means of holding small cords shall be used. 

Equation (73) is based on the observed shift in vibrational frequency. Since these measurements are usually carried out at a level of stress which is well below the theoretical breaking strength of the chain, they may correspond to the initial portion of the curve in Fig. 20 which also predicts a linear decrease of U(a) on the level of stress. 

Based on the above arguments, with peel strength measurements for the three SUV/Minivan tires. We will also include the elongation to break data for the Large Car-C tire even though the difference in wedge rubber modulus between the held and oven sets makes the comparison between these data sets somewhat questionable. 

Investigating coextrusion of com meal and WPI, Onwulata et al. (2003b) found that the melt temperature of the extmdate was more of an indicator of physical properties than specific mechanical energy. Quality attributes such as breaking strength, color, and expansion index were related to melt temperature measured at the die. 

Step 4 Capsule Mechanical Stability. The mechanical stability of the membranes was assessed semi-quantitatively by applying a compressional force via a micrometer. While this method is not precise, it did permit us to assess if the capsules could withstand deformations and if they ruptured in a controlled or catastrophic manner. Another test which was selectively employed was to place capsules between microscope slides and measure the force required to compromise the integrity of the membrane. These tests measured the resistance of the weakest point of the membrane. For certain capsules a needle was used to probe the breaking strength of a local region of the membrane. 

Purpose To measure the breaking strength of various household polymer samples using a homemade tensile tester. 

Of prime interest are the tensile properties summarized in Table 4, and typical of stress-strain curves exhibited by thermoplastic elastomers. The elongation and strength at break were measured above 1000% and 50 MPA, respectively. Both the tensile modulus and the stress at yield increased by increasing the PCL relative content whereas, as expected, the ultimate elongation at break slightly decreased. 

The tensile strength, modulus, and elongation at break were measured on an Instron Tensile Tester at a crosshead speed of 20 in./min (ASTM D-412) and the hardness by means of a Shore A Durometer (ASTM D-2240). 

Flexural strength, or cross-breaking strength, is a measure of the bending strength or stiffness of a test bar specimen used as a sample beam in accordance with ASTM D-790. The specimen is placed on supports (Figure 14.13). A load is applied to its center at a specified rate... 

The median of the results for each property is reported. There is evidence that tensile properties at break (strength and elongation) follow a double exponential distribution when the mode would be the best measure of central tendency. This has never been widely adopted, largely because it is... 

Copolymer test specimens were prepared by pressing slabs for 0.5-3 min at temperatures approximately 20°C above the copolymer melting point, followed by cooling under pressure to room temperature in 5-10 min. Test samples were conditioned at 24°C and 50% relative humidity for at least 48 hr before testing. Stress-strain and tear-strength measurements were made on 0.6 to 0.8-mm-thick specimens. Thicker specimens yield lower values for tensile strength and elongation at break. The test methods used were ... 

Since the environmental history of the book would influence the results obtained from physical property measurements made on the paper, each book was preconditioned in a standard atmosphere (4) before any paper samples were removed. The following physical property measurements were made on the same pages throughout each of the control and dried books tensile breaking strength (5) tensile energy of absorption (6, 7) internal tear resistance (8) thickness (9) and hot-water extract-able acidity or alkalinity (10).
