Principle

Immersion of test specimens in fluids under controlled stress or strain.

The simultaneous action of the chemical and of the stress on the specimen can lead to stress cracking phenomena, hardly predictable by the simple immersion without stress.

Capabilities

  • Test at constant tensile load according to ISO 22088-2
  • Bent strip method according to ISO 22088-3
  • U-bending method based on ASTM D1693
