• SOFTERING TEST: determination of Vicat softening point
• REFLECTION TEST: determination of HDT
• IMPACT RESISTANCE: determination of IZOD impact strength with or without notched sample
• DYNAMOMETER: determination of flexural strength (elastic modulus)
• DYNAMOMETER: tensile tests to determine yield/break/elongation strength
• SPECTROPHOTOMETER: colorimetric measurements and checks
Plant engineering 4.0
