What is Erichsen Test Equipment?

The Erichsen 430P, a scratch hardness tester, is a motorized testing instrument used to test the resistance to scratches and cuts that plastic or varnished surfaces have. It tests panels of differing thicknesses by performing single, parallel, and cross-cuts....

Composite Testing: New ASTM Laboratory Standards

Looking for a laboratory to do composite testing? Two new ASTM Standards for the testing of the plastic composites pultruded fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) materials will be released. The new ASTM Standards are ASTM D7792, the Test Method for Measuring the Effect...

RA and RMS | Surface Roughness

RA and RMS are measurements of surface roughness. Both measurements are done using a profilometer though the calculations differ for RA and RMS. RA is the roughness average and RMS is the root mean square of a surface. Both measurements are based on the heights of...

NASM Aerospace Fastener Laboratory Testing

The National Aerospace Standards (NAS) are a comprehensive set of industry standards developed and maintained by the Aerospace Industries Association (AIA) of America. NAS standards encompass a wide range of aerospace components and systems, including fasteners,...
