An Environmental Stress Cracking Resistance apparatus designed as per ASTM D1693 to determine the environmental stress cracking resistance of ethylene plastics — with 6 stations, an SS inner bath (ambient to 200 °C) and a complete specimen-preparation kit.
Polyethylene bottles, pipes and containers can crack over time when stress and a surface-active chemical act together, even below the yield strength. ESCR measures this: notched strips are bent into a holder, immersed in a surfactant solution at a controlled temperature, and the time for specimens to crack is recorded.
International Equipments builds an ESCR apparatus designed as per ASTM D1693 with 6 stations and a stainless-steel inner bath operating from ambient to 200 °C, so a wide range of ESCR conditions can be set. Every unit ships with the specimen-preparation kit — cutting die, nicking jig, bending-cum-transfer tool, aluminium foil, and 6 nos. each of specimen holders, test tubes and rubber corks — so labs can start testing on delivery. Manufactured in Mumbai, CE marked and calibration-certified.
