Overview
The Hengyi HY-3080 Silicone Rubber Tensile Strength Testing Machine is a high-precision, dual-column electromechanical universal testing system engineered for static mechanical characterization of polymeric, elastomeric, and composite materials under tension, compression, flexure, peel, tear, and puncture loading conditions. Designed in strict accordance with ISO 7500-1 (static calibration of force-measuring systems), ASTM E4 (load verification of testing machines), and GB/T 16491 (Chinese standard for universal testing machines), the HY-3080 delivers traceable, repeatable, and compliant mechanical data across R&D, QC, and regulatory submission workflows. Its core architecture integrates a precision ball-screw-driven crosshead, high-stiffness portal frame, and digital closed-loop control firmware—enabling stable force regulation down to 0.1% of full-scale capacity and sub-micron displacement resolution. The system is particularly optimized for silicone rubber formulations, where accurate measurement of tensile strength, elongation at break, modulus (E), yield point, and stress relaxation behavior is critical for medical-grade sealants, gasketing, implantable device components, and high-temperature insulation materials.
Key Features
- Dual-column portal structure with reinforced steel frame and precision-ground linear guides for minimal deflection and high axial alignment (<0.05 mm/m).
- Modular load cell configuration: interchangeable transducers from 1 N to 30 kN, all certified to ISO 376 Class 0.5 accuracy, enabling seamless transition between micro-tensile films and macro-scale composites.
- True single-range force measurement: 500,000-count A/D resolution maintained across entire dynamic range—no range switching artifacts or discontinuities.
- Wide-speed actuation: 0.001–1000 mm/min with closed-loop encoder feedback and ±0.5% speed fidelity—essential for creep, relaxation, and rate-dependent viscoelastic profiling per ASTM D1708 and ISO 527-3.
- Intelligent safety architecture: electronic end-limit switches, 110% overload cut-off, real-time drive diagnostics (voltage, current, thermal), and programmable emergency stop logic compliant with ISO 13850.
- Motorized crosshead with dual-speed jog control (fast/slow) and automatic return-to-start functionality—reducing operator fatigue and improving throughput consistency.
Sample Compatibility & Compliance
The HY-3080 accommodates specimens ranging from thin silicone elastomer films (≥0.1 mm thick) to thick molded rubber pads (≤50 mm), textile laminates, geotextiles, packaging films (mono- and multilayer), paperboard, and fiber-reinforced composites. Standard grips include pneumatic flat-face clamps (adjustable pressure up to 0.7 MPa), wedge-action serrated jaws, and peel fixtures meeting ASTM D903 and ISO 8510-2 requirements. All test protocols adhere to internationally harmonized standards—including ASTM D412 (rubber tensile properties), ISO 37 (vulcanized rubber), GB/T 528 (Chinese rubber standard), JIS K6251, and DIN 53504—ensuring data interoperability across global supply chains. The system supports audit-ready operation under GLP and GMP environments via optional 21 CFR Part 11-compliant software modules with electronic signatures, audit trails, and user-level access controls.
Software & Data Management
Bundled HengyiTest v4.2 software provides full I/O control, real-time curve plotting (force vs. displacement, stress vs. strain), automated parameter extraction (modulus, yield stress, ultimate strength, % elongation), and customizable report generation in PDF, Excel, and XML formats. Raw data export includes timestamped ASCII files compatible with MATLAB, Python (NumPy/Pandas), and Minitab for advanced statistical analysis. Calibration certificates are digitally embedded and version-tracked; firmware updates preserve historical calibration integrity. Optional network integration enables centralized instrument monitoring via LAN/Wi-Fi, with role-based permissions and remote diagnostic telemetry for predictive maintenance scheduling.
Applications
- Quantification of tensile strength and elongation of medical-grade silicone elastomers per USP Plastic Materials and ISO 10993-12 biocompatibility guidance.
- Peel adhesion testing of pressure-sensitive silicone release liners used in wound dressings and transdermal patches (ASTM D3330).
- Mechanical validation of silicone encapsulants in automotive sensors and EV battery modules under thermal cycling protocols.
- Quality conformance testing of extruded silicone tubing for pharmaceutical fluid handling (ISO 8536-4 compliance).
- Comparative modulus analysis of filled vs. unfilled silicone compounds during formulation development.
- Long-term creep and stress relaxation studies under ISO 899-1/2 for sealing performance prediction.
FAQ
What standards does the HY-3080 support out-of-the-box?
The system includes pre-configured test methods for ASTM D412, ISO 37, GB/T 528, JIS K6251, and DIN 53504, with full parameter mapping to standard-defined specimen geometry, rate, and conditioning requirements.
Can the HY-3080 perform cyclic loading or fatigue tests?
No—the HY-3080 is designed exclusively for static quasi-static testing (tension/compression/flexure/peel). For dynamic or high-cycle fatigue, consider Hengyi’s servo-hydraulic series (e.g., HY-FAT-100).
Is third-party calibration certification included?
Yes—a NIST-traceable factory calibration certificate (including force, displacement, and speed verification) is provided with each unit; annual recalibration services are available under Hengyi’s ISO/IEC 17025-accredited program.
How is data integrity ensured for regulated industries?
With optional Part 11 software, the system enforces electronic signatures, immutable audit logs, automated backup, and 21-day retention of raw acquisition files—meeting FDA, EMA, and MHRA expectations for evidentiary robustness.
What grip options are available for low-force silicone film testing?
Micro-grip kits with 10–50 N load cells, vacuum-assisted film holders, and non-slip coated platens are available to prevent slippage and edge damage during sub-1 N measurements.
