Plastics & PET Test & Measurement Solutions: Precision Testing for Plastics and PET

Vertical Plastics 1920x1080

Overview

Industrial Physics delivers comprehensive test and measurement solutions that ensure your plastics and PET materials meet specifications every time. In this video, you’ll see how solutions spanning melt flow, impact, burst, barrier, and structural testing validate raw materials, optimize processing parameters, and prove finished products will perform under pressure, from raw material to finished product.

Key Testing Capabilities for Plastics & PET

  • Melt flow testing to validate polymer processability and consistency
  • Impact testing for resistance and toughness across temperature ranges
  • Burst testing for container and bottle structural integrity
  • Plastic container testing for PET bottles, preforms, and containers
  • Tensile testing for strength, elongation, and modulus
  • Permeation testing to validate barrier properties
  • Compression and top-load crush testing
  • Density testing for quality control and material identification
  • Technology from Ray-Ran and Torus

What You’ll Learn in This Video

  • 00:00 – Introduction to plastics and PET quality control
  • 00:21 – Overview of the testing solutions portfolio
  • 00:58 – Standards compliance and global service support

Complete Testing Solutions for Plastics & PET

In plastics and PET manufacturing, lightweighting can’t compromise strength and material consistency can’t be questioned. Quality is non-negotiable, whether you’re producing beverage bottles, food packaging, pharmaceutical containers, or industrial components.

Industrial Physics provides accurate, reliable, and repeatable results at every stage, from melt flow and impact testing to barrier performance and burst strength. This enables resin producers, converters, bottle manufacturers, and R&D laboratories to validate raw materials, optimize processing parameters, and prove finished products will perform under pressure across the complete plastics manufacturing process.

Typical Applications

  • Beverage bottle and PET preform production
  • Food and beverage packaging
  • Pharmaceutical and medical containers
  • Personal care and industrial components
  • Resin producers, converters, and R&D laboratories

Technical Summary

  • Test parameters: Melt flow rate, impact, burst, tensile (strength, elongation, modulus), permeation, compression/top-load, density
  • Package/material types: PET bottles, preforms, plastic containers, resins and compounds, all plastic grades
  • Standards: ISO, ASTM
  • Brands: Ray-Ran, Torus
