Testing Equipments

Melt Flow Index Tester (Product Code: SLE/ET/01) is a plastics testing instrument used to measure how easily a molten thermoplastic flows through a die under a set load and temperature, a routine check in polymer engineering labs and quality-control rooms. It uses a microprocessor-based, auto-tuned PID temperature controller with 0.1 °C resolution, weights of 2.16 kg and 5 kg, and a digital presettable timer up to 999 seconds. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, to buyers of engineering lab equipment in India and abroad.

Specifications

What Is the Melt Flow Index Tester Used For?

The melt flow index expresses how much molten polymer is pushed through a standard die in a fixed time. Granules are loaded into the heated barrel, allowed to melt at the set temperature, and a weighted piston drives the melt out through the die. The operator cuts the extrudate at timed intervals, weighs the pieces and works out the flow rate. A higher value means an easier-flowing, usually lower-viscosity grade.

Plastics processors use the test to check incoming raw material batches, confirm a grade before moulding or extrusion, and spot degradation in recycled material, while engineering colleges and polytechnics use it to teach polymer processing. The digital timer's buzzer signals each manual cut, and the two weights let the lab test under a lighter or heavier load as its method requires. Let the temperature settle before loading, clean the barrel and die while still hot, and wear heat-resistant gloves.

What to Specify When Ordering

Computerised Tensile Tester (Product Code: SLE/ET/02) is a motorised tensile testing instrument used to pull a specimen to failure while recording its load, yield and elongation in materials and polymer testing laboratories. Engineering colleges and quality-control labs use it for loads up to 500 kg on one load cell, with up to 1000 mm of cross travel and speeds from 10 to 500 mm/minute. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, as part of its range of test and measurement instruments in India.

Specifications

What Is the Computerised Tensile Tester Used For?

A tensile test holds a strip or shaped specimen at both ends and draws the ends apart at a steady rate until the specimen breaks. On this instrument the microcontroller follows the load cell throughout the pull and shows peak load, break load, tensile strength at peak and at break, yield load, yield stress and percentage elongation at peak, so students and technicians read results directly instead of working them out from a chart.

Typical exercises include comparing the strength and ductility of different materials, relating yield stress to peak strength, and checking how the pulling rate changes a result. Use slower speeds near 10 mm/minute for stiff or brittle samples and faster settings for very extensible ones, measure specimen width and thickness carefully because tensile strength is load divided by cross-sectional area, and keep expected loads inside the 500 kg rating. It is useful engineering lab equipment in India for strength-of-materials and polymer courses.

What to Specify When Ordering

• The highest load your specimens will reach, confirming it is within the 500 kg capacity
• Specimen material, shape and size, so gripping arrangements can be confirmed with us
• The test speeds your method requires within the 10 to 500 mm/minute range
• Mains supply at the installation site (listed supply: 230 V, 50 Hz, single phase)

Computerised Izod Impact Tester (Product Code: SLE/ET/03) is a pendulum impact testing instrument used to measure how much energy a notched specimen absorbs when a single swing breaks it, in plastics and materials testing laboratories. Its pendulum is released from 150°, energy ranges extend to 25.00 joules, and a microcontroller shows impact strength directly in J/m and kg-cm/cm. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a laboratory instruments supplier in India serving colleges and test labs.

Specifications

What Is the Izod Impact Tester Used For?

In an Izod test the notched specimen is clamped upright as a short cantilever with the notch facing the striker. The pendulum is lifted to its 150° release position and let go; it breaks the specimen and swings on, and the energy it has lost is the energy absorbed in fracture. The microcontroller turns this into impact strength in J/m or kg-cm/cm, while the PC software can plot impact energy against angular displacement.

Laboratories use it to compare the toughness of plastic grades, to see how fillers, moulding conditions or temperature change brittleness, and to teach fracture behaviour in materials courses. Pick the smallest energy range that covers the expected break so the finer resolution is used, for example 0.02 J on the 0–2.71 J range, and notch every specimen the same way, because notch geometry strongly affects the result. This makes it practical engineering lab equipment in India for polymer and mechanical engineering departments.

What to Specify When Ordering

• The energy ranges your specimens need, from 0–2.71 J up to 0–25.00 J
• Units required on displayed and printed results (J/m or kg-cm/cm)
• Whether a PC and printer for graphs and reports should be quoted or will be provided by your lab (confirm with us)
• Notch preparation equipment, if your lab does not already cut notches
• Quantity and delivery location

How does the Computerised Izod Impact Tester show results?
The Computerised Izod Impact Tester displays impact strength directly through its microcontroller in J/m and kg-cm/cm. With a PC connected, it can also show an impact energy versus angular displacement graph and print numeric reports in different units on an attached printer.

Are the reports based on a test standard?
The product specification for the Computerised Izod Impact Tester lists PC reports of impact-strength values to ASTM and IS test methods, in different units. Because specimen and notch requirements differ between methods, confirm the exact method your laboratory follows with us before ordering.

What is the pendulum release angle?
The pendulum of the Computerised Izod Impact Tester is released from 150°. A fixed release angle gives the same starting energy for every swing, which keeps results comparable from one specimen to the next.

Do specimens need to be notched before testing?
Yes, Izod specimens are normally notched before testing, and notch shape strongly affects the result. ScienceLab's Motorized Notch Cutter (Variable Speed) prepares consistent notches and can be quoted together with the Computerised Izod Impact Tester.

Motorized Notch Cutter (Variable Speed) (Product Code: SLE/ET/04) is a specimen-preparation machine used to cut a precise notch into test bars before pendulum impact testing in plastics and materials laboratories. Its 45° cutter is driven by a 1440 rpm motor through a vector-controlled variable speed drive, its 0–25 mm range reads to 0.01 mm, and an acrylic safety jacket guards the cutting area. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a laboratory equipment supplier in India for materials testing rooms.

Specifications

What Is the Notch Cutter Used For?

Impact results can only be compared when every specimen carries the same notch, and hand-filed notches rarely match. This machine cuts the notch with a motor-driven 45° cutter, and its 0–25 mm range is read to a least count of 0.01 mm, so each bar in a batch can be given the same setting.

The vector-controlled drive lets the operator lower the cutting speed for heat-sensitive thermoplastics, which can smear or melt at the notch root if cut too fast, and raise it for tougher materials. Clamp each bar firmly, keep the acrylic jacket closed while the motor runs, clear chips between cuts and inspect the notch before the specimen goes to the impact tester. It is a sensible addition to engineering lab equipment in India wherever Izod or similar impact tests are taught.

What to Specify When Ordering

• Confirmation that the 45° cutting angle matches the notch your test method calls for
• Your specimen sizes, so fit within the 0–25 mm range can be checked with us
• Site supply (listed: 230 V, 50 Hz, single phase)
• Whether an impact tester should be quoted with it
• Quantity and delivery location

Supplier

ScienceLab, the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited in Ambala, Haryana, supplies this notch cutter mainly as part of impact-testing set-ups for plastics laboratories, engineering colleges and polytechnics in India and international markets.

Because a cutter wears with use, ask us about replacement cutters when you send your enquiry. Company details are on the ScienceLab profile.

Computerised VSP & HDT Apparatus (Product Code: SLE/ET/05) is a heated-bath testing instrument used to find the Vicat softening point (VSP) and heat deflection temperature (HDT) of plastics in polymer testing and quality-control laboratories. Loaded specimens are heated from ambient to 300 °C at 120 °C/hour or 50 °C/hour while sensors with 0.01 mm resolution follow them, and 2 to 6 stations can be specified. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, among its test and measurement instruments in India.

Specifications

What Is the VSP & HDT Apparatus Used For?

Both tests show how a plastic behaves as it warms under load. In the Vicat test a flat-ended needle rests on the specimen under a set load, and the bath temperature at which it penetrates a specified depth is taken as the softening point; in the HDT test a bar is loaded in bending, and the temperature at which it deflects by a specified amount is recorded. The microcontroller shows both results directly, and the PC software plots penetration or deflection against temperature.

Material suppliers, moulders and polymer courses use these results to compare grades and judge the temperature limit of a moulded part. Choose the heating rate your method requires, build the load from the 5 g to 2000 g weight set, and zero each sensor before heating begins. With several stations, specimens from one batch run side by side under identical heating, which makes the unit a productive choice among polymer laboratory instruments in India.

What to Specify When Ordering

• Number of stations, from 2 to 6
• Heating rate required: 120 °C/hour, 50 °C/hour or both
• The loads your method needs, so the 5 g to 2000 g weight set can be checked against it
• Whether a PC and printer for graphs and reports should be quoted (confirm with us)
• Quantity and delivery location

Supplier

ScienceLab is the name under which Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited of Ambala, Haryana, trades. The company supplies this VSP and HDT apparatus to plastics compounders, packaging and moulding units, engineering colleges and research laboratories in India and international markets.

Station count, heating-rate options and extra weights can be discussed with us before a quotation is issued. Read about the company on the ScienceLab profile page.

Static and Kinetic Friction Tester (Product Code: SLE/ET/06) is a motorised coefficient-of-friction instrument used to measure the force needed to start, and then keep, a sled sliding over a film, sheet or other flat sample in packaging and materials testing laboratories. A 200 gram sled is drawn at 150 mm/minute, readings go up to 9.999 kg, and static and kinetic friction values appear directly on the display. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, for buyers of laboratory instruments in India and abroad.

Specifications

What Is the Static and Kinetic Friction Tester Used For?

Packaging films, laminates, papers and coated sheets must slide neither too easily nor too reluctantly on filling lines and in stacks, so their coefficient of friction is checked routinely. In a typical test one piece of material is held flat, a second piece is fitted to the 200 gram sled, and the sled is pulled across at a constant 150 mm/minute; the force needed to break it free gives the static value and the steadier force while sliding gives the kinetic value.

Quality-control labs use it to accept incoming film batches and compare slip additives, while engineering students use it to see the real difference between static and kinetic friction. Keep the sled face and templates clean, avoid touching the test surfaces, and let samples settle to room conditions first, since dust or handling can shift the reading. On the computerised model, the RS 232 link and interface software let results be kept on a PC.

What to Specify When Ordering

• Standard digital-controller model, or computerised model with micro-controller, RS 232 communication and PC interface software
• A PC to run the interface software, if you choose the computerised model
• Any templates needed beyond the three stainless steel templates included (ask us)
• Quantity and delivery location

Inclined Plane Tester (Product Code: SLE/ET/07) is a tilting-plane friction instrument used to determine the coefficient of friction between film and film, film and metal, and film and glass in packaging and plastics laboratories. The plane rises at 1.5° to 2.0° per second beneath a 750 gram sled measuring 4 inch × 2 inch, and two stainless steel templates are included. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a laboratory equipment exporter from India serving domestic and overseas buyers.

Specifications

What Is the Inclined Plane Tester Used For?

The inclined plane method finds static friction without a force gauge. The sled, faced with the sample, rests on the plane, which tilts steadily at 1.5° to 2.0° per second until the sled starts to slide; the tangent of that angle is the static coefficient of friction between the two surfaces. Because the instrument is intended for film-to-film, film-to-metal and film-to-glass pairs, one set-up compares a packaging film against itself and against the surfaces it meets on machines and shelves.

Film converters use it to set slip specifications and check production batches, while physics and engineering courses use it to show the angle of friction on real materials. Fit the film smoothly to the 750 gram sled without creases, clean metal or glass surfaces before each run, and repeat on fresh sample areas before averaging the slip angle. Laboratories that also own the horizontal-pull Static and Kinetic Friction Tester can compare the two methods directly.

What to Specify When Ordering

• The material pairs you will test: film to film, film to metal and/or film to glass
• Extra stainless steel templates or a spare sled, if needed (ask us)
• Site supply (listed: 230 V, 50 Hz, single phase)
• Quantity and delivery location

Supplier

ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, based in Ambala, Haryana. It supplies the Inclined Plane Tester to flexible-packaging firms, film extruders, polytechnics and university laboratories in India and international markets, often together with other friction and packaging test instruments.

• Inclined Plane With Accessories — a physics-lab inclined plane for teaching forces on a slope.

Explore the Testing Equipments category for more instruments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which material combinations can the Inclined Plane Tester measure?
The Inclined Plane Tester is intended to determine the coefficient of friction between film and film, film and metal, and film and glass, so a packaging film can be checked against itself and against common contact surfaces.

How fast does the plane tilt?
The plane of the Inclined Plane Tester tilts at 1.5° to 2.0° per second. A slow, steady rise lets the sled start sliding at a well-defined angle, which is then used to work out the static coefficient of friction.

What are the sled weight and size?
The Inclined Plane Tester uses a 750 gram sled measuring 4 inch × 2 inch. The film sample is fitted smoothly to the sled face before each test so that contact with the counter-surface is even.

How is the coefficient of friction worked out?
On the Inclined Plane Tester, the static coefficient of friction equals the tangent of the plane angle at the moment the sled begins to slide, so a steeper slip angle indicates a higher-friction pair of surfaces.

How does it differ from the Static and Kinetic Friction Tester?
The Inclined Plane Tester finds static friction from the angle at which a sled slips, while the Static and Kinetic Friction Tester pulls a sled horizontally and reports both static and kinetic values. Many packaging laboratories use both methods.

Who supplies the Inclined Plane Tester?
The Inclined Plane Tester is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India, to packaging, plastics and teaching laboratories in India and international markets.

Heat Sealer (Product Code: SLE/ET/08) is a table-top laboratory sealing instrument used to make controlled heat seals on plastic films and flexible packaging samples for seal and package testing. Two temperature zones are held by an auto-tuned PID controller up to 200 °C with 0.1 °C resolution, and a pneumatically moved jaw closes against a fixed jaw to form a 150 mm × 20 mm seal. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, to packaging laboratories and colleges looking for laboratory instruments in India.

Specifications

What Is the Heat Sealer Used For?

Seal quality depends on temperature, pressure and contact time, and a laboratory heat sealer lets each of these be repeated from one sample to the next. The operator places two layers of film between the jaws, the pneumatic jaw closes against the fixed jaw, and the heated zones fuse a strip 150 mm long and 20 mm wide. Because the PID controller works to 0.1 °C resolution, seals made on different days can be compared with confidence.

Packaging developers use it to find the lowest temperature that gives a sound seal on a new laminate, and quality laboratories prepare seal strips that are later pulled apart on a tensile tester to judge seal strength. Start low and raise the temperature in small steps, keep the jaw faces free of melted residue, and let the zones stabilise after every change. It also suits film and pouch exercises in engineering and packaging courses.

What to Specify When Ordering

• Mains supply at your site (listed supply: 230 V, 60 Hz, single phase, 15 A)
• Compressed-air availability for the pneumatic jaw (discuss with us)
• Whether the 150 mm × 20 mm seal size suits your sample format

Frequently Asked Questions

What seal size does the Heat Sealer produce?
The Heat Sealer produces a seal 150 mm long and 20 mm wide between one fixed jaw and one pneumatically moved jaw, which suits strip samples for peel and seal-strength testing of films and laminates.

What temperature control does the Heat Sealer have?
The Heat Sealer uses an auto-tuned PID controller with a temperature range up to 200 °C and a resolution of 0.1 °C, serving two temperature zones so that sealing conditions can be repeated closely.

How are the jaws operated?
On the Heat Sealer one clamping jaw is fixed and the second is moved by pneumatic action to close on the film. Confirm compressed-air availability at your laboratory with us when you request a quotation.

What power supply does the Heat Sealer need?
The Heat Sealer is listed for a 230 volt, 60 Hz, single-phase supply rated at 15 amperes. Confirm your site’s voltage and frequency with us before ordering so any difference can be resolved before dispatch.

Is the Heat Sealer a bench unit?
Yes. The Heat Sealer is table-top mounted with a daylight of 50 mm, so it sits on a laboratory bench beside other packaging test instruments rather than needing floor space.

Who supplies the Heat Sealer?
The Heat Sealer is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India, to packaging, film and engineering laboratories in India and international markets.
