Environment Stress Crack Resistance Test Apparatus

"Kaiser" ESCR is used for determining the susceptibility of ethylene plastics, to Environmental Stress Cracking when subjected to certain conditions. Bent specimens of plastic having controlled imperfections are exposed to the action of a surface active agent These tests are normally employed for routine inspection purpose.

APPLICATION:

Environmental stress cracking is a property that is highly dependent upon the nature and level of the Stress applied and on the termal history of the specimen. This equipment consists of a heating bath to hold water or surface active liquid used for the test
