Uniaxial tensile testing is the most commonly used for obtaining the mechanical characteristics of isotropic materials. Properties that are directly measured via a tensile test are ultimate tensile strength, breaking strength, maximum elongation and reduction in area. Firstly, we will look at the most common testing method – tensile testing. TWI is a world leader in developing bespoke mechanical testing designs and methodologies to support consultancy and research projects. Tensile testing provides details of the tensile mechanical properties of a materia
Common Compliance Pitfalls
It measures slip resistance using a floor friction tester (the Tortus III) that simulates walking across the surface. It covers both wet and dry conditions using lab-based equipment under controlled settings. This guide explains how they’re tested, when to use each rating, and how to stay complian
Any excessive residual moisture in a substrate may prevent full curing of the membrane or may cause the membrane to prematurely fail. For the correct membrane application, the moisture content of the substrate should be measured prior to any application. For example, all sealants must be waterproof or water resistant (where permitted) and be flexible, mould resistant and compatible with adjacent materials. The selection of materials and waterproofing systems is critical in preventing differential movement caused by shrinkage and expansion of materials and finishes. This ensures that water splashing from the shower will be contained within the area and not damage the surrounding wall
Membrane autopsy is a useful technique for determining causes of fouling events in membrane systems. Fouling occurs in all membrane systems and the general operating principle is not how to eliminate fouling but how can it best be managed. Our newsletter has great information around accreditation news, industry updates and other important information. The only data displayed is that deemed relevant and necessary for the clear description of the activities and services covered by the scope of accreditatio
Same-Day Onsite Slip Test Report
The floor slip test report includes the slip resistance data obtained and comparison against the benchmark recommendations to enable understanding the level of compliance with the standards and to respond accordingly. SESA performs slip resistance testing (floor slip test) in Sydney, NSW, Canberra and ACT for a range of clients including government organisations, property owners and managers, cleaning companies, shopping centres, insurance & loss assessors and lawyers. At SESA, our expert floor slip consultants and slip resistance testing technicians work hard to test and evaluate your floor slip resistance against established floor slip resistance standards and assist you in meeting your obligations to ensure your floor is safe for users. The slip measurement results provided by Slip Testing Services will help you identify and manage the potential slip hazards of your trafficable areas, ensuring that they comply with the National Construction Code (NCC) requirements.
