MECHANICAL TESTING LABORATORY

Due to the very large number of tests offered, descriptions of those most commonly requested have been gathered into the following groups:

ASTM C1147 – Short Term Tensile Weld Strength of Chemical-Resistant Thermoplastics

To request a quotation for any test email info@trl.com for a prompt reply

ASTM C1147 testing covers the evaluation of joints between two pieces of weldable grades of thermoplastic material. This testing is intended to establish methods to evaluate minimum short term weld factors.

Control specimens (unwelded sheet) and welded specimens are tested. The unwelded specimens are compared to the welded specimens. The results from testing are indicative of skill in proper welding procedures for different thermoplastic materials and the use of proper welding equipment.

Please email info@trl.com or call (304) 547-5800 for information regarding test procedures, results, specimen information, pricing or any other ASTM C1147 questions you may have.
