Elastomer Testing
Rubberatkins can test any Elastomers to determine chemical composition, exposure to gases and fluids, and failure modes. This can prove invaluable when investigating performance envelopes of elastomers or field failure analysis. The results can also help re-define material choice and design improvements for future developments.
Rubberatkins has the testing capabilities for Material Testing to API, ISO, ASTM & BS standards.
Rubberatkins lab is equipped with a range of equipment capable of testing numerous properties of elastomers to various international recognised standards.
