Compression stress tester.


The company's compression stress relaxometer measures the ability of an elastomer elastomer (ĭlăs`təmər), substance having to some extent the elastic properties of natural rubber. The term is sometimes used technically to distinguish synthetic rubbers and rubberlike plastics from natural rubber.  to seal efficiently when held in compression over time between two rigid faces. The stress at the interface between the elastomer and the rigid faces is important for efficient sealing and is a function of the modulus of the elastomer and the strain applied, according to according to

stainless steel

Any of a family of alloy steels usually containing 10–30% chromium. The presence of chromium, together with low carbon content, gives remarkable resistance to corrosion and heat.
 jig jig, dance of English origin that is performed also in Ireland and Scotland. It is usually a lively dance, performed by one or more persons, with quick and irregular steps. When the jig was introduced to the United States, it was often danced in minstrel shows. , the test sample is compressed by a fixed strain (typically 25%) between two flat parallel faces for the duration of the test. One face can be adjusted to accept different height samples, while the other is mounted in a frictionless manner, allowing the force exerted by the sample to be accurately determined, according to the company. The stress at the interface between the test piece and the jig is measured using the company's force measuring instrument, the compression stress relaxometer. (Wallace Instruments)
