- Fatigue testing
Fatigue testing and impact testing are not two regimes that you would necessarily associate with each other, but in fact lots of items in the real world are subject to repeated impacts, and there is most definitely a need to test their endurance. At Imatek Systems we have been involved in the design of such…
- What use are all those channels?
Imatek System’s standard data acquisition hardware gives you the ability to record the signals from 4 different transducers. An optional upgrade increases that number to 8 channels. And if that is not enough, since V3.4.19 the Impacqt software has had the ability to connect with up to four C3008s, allowing you to record data from…
- How to specify an impact tester
Impact testers come in different shapes and sizes, corresponding to different capabilities and areas of application: so how do you go about selecting the right one? If your requirement is only to test to one or more recognised standards, then your task is clear and simple: browse the product pages on our websites to find…
- What exactly does a rheometer do?
Rheology (from Greek ῥέω rhéō, ‘flow’ and -λoγία, -logia, ‘study of) is the branch of physics that deals with the deformation and flow of matter, most commonly the flow of liquids. When liquids are made to flow – when you squeeze toothpaste out of a tube, for example – they tend to resist that flow,…
- What are the benefits of high-speed video?
High rate tests, such as performed on servo-hydraulically powered and instrumented impact test apparatus have become widely used as a method of investigating the properties of materials and structures. As technology moves forward, so does the quality of the instrumentation, with gradual improvements in all areas: accuracy, dynamic range, bandwidth and sometimes cost. The quantities…
