Expert Commentary
Measures the Tensile and Tensile Adhesion Properties of Rigid Cellular Plastics. Method B utilizes type B specimens which are typically bonded to metal loading fixtures. The engineering difficulty is the adhesive-to-foam interface. If the adhesive penetrates too deeply into the cells, it reinforces the specimen, skewing the results. MTO provides specialized Alignment Jigs for the bonding process to ensure the loading blocks are perfectly coaxial. Our tension grips utilize universal joints to prevent any bending moments during the pull, which is the most common cause of invalid brittle failures in foam specimens.
