 178 flexural properties testing and ASTM D638 and ISO 527 tensile testing. The plastics testing routines are included at no charge in MTESTWindows. Users can select the standard tests or develop and store customized tests for specific lab situations and test requirements.

MTESTWindows is a software program that runs on personal computers with the Microsoft Windows operating system. It includes an external interface box that controls the movement of the load frame and acquires load, strain and deflection data. MTESTWindows can be used to update existing electromechanical and hydraulic test frames. It is also available with ADMET's full line of materials testing equipment including ADMET test frames that are designed for quality control, production and research and development applications.

"MTESTWindows is an extremely flexible system for tensile and flexural testing of virtually any material," commented Richard Gedney, ADMET founder and president. "For plastics, we've built in the test parameters so our customers can eliminate manual test operations and automatically calculate the results. Operators simply select the D638 or D790 routines from a menu of available tests. MTESTWindows controls the test, reports the results and performs all of the necessary calculations."

MTESTWindows calculates key test parameters, such as ultimate tensile strength, offset yield strength, modulus of elasticity modulus of elasticity

The ratio of the stress applied to a body to the strain that results in the body in response to it. The modulus of elasticity of a material is a measure of its stiffness and for most materials remains constant over a range of stress.
, total elongation, percent of elongation, and many more. Test reports include a stress-strain plot with all calculated test results. MTESTWindows can also generate reports, which include a statistical summary of test results. All data can be exported in ASCII ASCII or American Standard Code for Information Interchange, a set of codes used to represent letters, numbers, a few symbols, and control characters. Originally designed for teletype operations, it has found wide application in computers.  delimited de·lim·it   also de·lim·i·tate
