Measures a material’s ability to resist deformation from a standard source. The Vickers test can be used for metals and plastics and has one of the widest scales among hardness tests.

Test the load, overload, cycle, etc. after the test, conductor inputs a fixed current.

Analyzes and measures the thickness of electroplating.

Series of tensile strength testers widely used to determine elongation, compression, flexing, tear, peeling, shear force, adhesive force, etc.of finished or semifinished products such as rubber, plastic, footwear, leathers, metal & wire.

Salt spray test is aimed at various kinds of material surface treatment, including coating, electroplating, inorganic and organic film, anodizing, antirust oil and other anti-corrosion treatment, testing the corrosion of its products. Test the anti-corrosion state of the electroplated product as per testing standards ASTM B117, ISO 9227, IEC68-2-11ka, A05-109, CNS 8886, GB 2423.17, GB10125.

Temperature humidity chambers (also known as climatic or climate test chambers) simulate the effects that a range of temperature and humidity conditions have on a product or material, for example, telecommunications equipment or photovoltaic solar panels that are exposed to outdoor temperature and humidity conditions. Temperature & Humidity Test Chamber is suitable to test a wide range of products for the automotive, electronic & semiconductor industries including printed circuit boards, electronic components & automobile parts.

Tests the products ability to safety using electric current.

Design failure mode and effect analysis (DFMEA) is a systematic group of activities used to recognize and evaluate potential systems, products or process failures. … Failure mode and effective analysis (FMEA) is an important part of the design cycle, hence the creation of DFMEA.

A Process Failure Mode Effects Analysis (PFMEA) is a structured analytical tool used by an organization, business unit or cross-functional team to identify and evaluate the potential failures of a process.
