The PolymerTest ESCR Tester is designed to determine the susceptibility of ethylene plastics (such as blow-molded bottles and cable jackets) to Environmental Stress Cracking. This complete workstation includes a high-precision PID-controlled oil bath and a full set of sample preparation tools (cutting die, notching jig, and transfer tool) to perform the “Bent Strip” test in strict accordance with ASTM D1693.

Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC) & OIT Tester

Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC) for OIT testing and thermal analysis of polymers according to ASTM D3895 and ISO 11357.

The PolymerTest Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC) is the ultimate instrument for thermal analysis and determining the “lifetime” of polymers via the Oxidation Induction Time (OIT) test. Equipped with high-precision sensors and an automatic gas switching system (Nitrogen/Oxygen), it accurately measures melting points, glass transition (Tg), and crystallinity in strict compliance with ASTM D3895 and ISO 11357.

Laboratory 3-Axis CNC Milling Machine for Sample Preparation

3-Axis CNC milling machine for cutting plastic dog-bone specimens according to ISO 527 and ASTM D638 without melting.

The PolymerTest Laboratory 3-Axis CNC Milling Machine is a specialized station designed to convert raw plastic sheets into standard test specimens without thermal degradation. Featuring a high-speed 18,000 RPM spindle and single-flute end mills, it eliminates burrs and micro-cracks, ensuring perfect “Dog-bone” and impact samples according to ISO 527, ASTM D638, and ISO 179.

Thermal Cycling Tester for Plastic Piping Systems (Hot & Cold)

Thermal cycling tester with dual tanks and wireless sensors for testing PEX and multilayer pipes according to ISO 10508 and ASTM F1281.

The PolymerTest Thermal Cycling Tester is designed to simulate the rigorous conditions of underfloor heating and radiator systems. By alternating hot and cold water flows through the pipe assembly at pressures up to 15 bar, it stresses the joints to detect potential leaks caused by expansion and contraction. Features a dual-tank system for rapid temperature switching and wireless sensors for clutter-free monitoring.

Leak Tightness Tester Under Internal Pressure and Bending (ISO 3503)

Motorized leak tightness testing machine for pipes under bending and internal pressure according to ISO 3503.

The PolymerTest Leak Tightness Tester simulates real-world stress on pipe joints caused by ground settling. By applying simultaneous internal hydrostatic pressure and mechanical bending force, this motorized workstation ensures the integrity of O-rings and mechanical fittings in PE and PVC-U pipes. Engineered strictly in accordance with ISO 3503.

DIN Abrasion Resistance Tester (Rotary Drum Method)

DIN abrasion tester with rotary drum and safety shield for measuring rubber wear resistance according to ISO 4649 and ASTM D5963.DIN abrasion tester with rotary drum and safety shield for measuring rubber wear resistance according to ISO 4649 and ASTM D5963.

The PolymerTest DIN Abrasion Resistance Tester is the industry standard for evaluating the wear life of rubber products exposed to friction, such as tires, conveyor belts, and shoe soles. Utilizing a precision rotary drum covered with standard abrasive paper, it simulates accelerated wear. The machine offers versatile testing modes (rotating and non-rotating specimen) and calibrated weights (5N to 20N) to ensure strict compliance with ISO 4649 and ASTM D5963.
