ESCR Testing Instrument

Techplast Testing Machine is Leading Manufacturer of ESCR Tester As per ASTM D 1693.

An ESCR Tester, also known as Environmental Stress Cracking Resistance Tester, is a testing instrument used to assess the environmental stress cracking resistance of plastic materials. ASTM D1693 is a standard test method established by ASTM International (formerly known as the American Society for Testing and Materials) for determining the resistance of plastic materials to environmental stress cracking when subjected to specific conditions.

Here's a brief overview of the ESCR testing procedure according to ASTM D1693:

1. Sample Preparation: Prepare specimens of the plastic material under test in a specific geometry, often notched or pre-cracked.

2. Exposure: Place the specimens in a suitable environment. ASTM D1693 outlines two primary test conditions: Condition A (constant tensile load) and Condition B (constant strain). Each condition simulates different stress conditions that can lead to environmental stress cracking.

3. Stress Application: Apply a constant tensile load or strain to the specimens as per the chosen condition.

4. Exposure Time: The specimens are exposed to the test environment for a specified period.

5. Observation: Periodically inspect the specimens for signs of cracking or failure during the exposure period.

6. Data Collection: Record the time to failure or the number of hours or cycles required for cracking to occur.

7. Analysis: Analyze the results to determine the material's environmental stress cracking resistance.

ESCR testing is crucial in evaluating the suitability of plastic materials for various applications, especially when they will be exposed to environmental stressors like chemicals, detergents, or other potentially degrading substances.

If you are interested in procuring an ESCR Tester or conducting ASTM D1693 testing, you can contact reputable laboratory equipment suppliers or testing service providers that specialize in plastic material testing. They can provide you with information about the equipment and services they offer, as well as guidance on ensuring compliance with ASTM standards and industry-specific requirements.
