Plastic Pipe Tensile Testing

Admet worked closely with our customer to build a large scale horizontal pipe tensile tester that could accommodate all pipe specimens and testing requirements the result was a 26 ft long custom built servo hydraulic testing machine that is able to test pipes from 8 inches to 28 inches in diameter and from 5 ft to 10 ft in length with a maximum possible elongation of 5 ft before.

Plastic pipe tensile testing. Ppi mission the mission of the plastics pipe institute is to advance the acceptance and use of plastic pipe systems through research education technical expertise and advocacy. Astm s plastic pipe standards are instrumental in specifying testing and evaluating the physical mechanical design and installation requirements for plastic polymeric or elastomeric pipes tubing and fittings including the seals threads and couplings that join them together. Polymer plastic pipe testing psilab is an advanced product testing laboratory that specializes in plastic pipe and pipe materials as well as other polymeric and composite products. Our mission is to deliver solutions when you need certainty.
