Continuous stress relaxation testing |
Discontinuous stress relaxation testing |
Less manual work, measurement will continue throughout the test after it is started. | More manual work, needed to manually perform the measurements at certain points during the test period. |
Logging automatically and continuously which means that if wanted, it is possible to obtain measured values from any given point from the test after the test is terminated. | No extra data is saved, only the manual taken measurements. Not possible to add extra evaluation points after the test is finalized. |
No physical movement of the rigs after the test is started. | It has been shown that each time a rig is moved the result may be affected due to the vibration that occurs in this operation. |
Most of Elastocon’s customers around the world ask for this type of testing, several big companies have it in their company standard. | Less customers ask for this type of test, it is included in the internal standards of some large companies. |
Possible to run tests automatically according to ISO 3384-1, ISO 3384-2 as well as ISO 6914 and other technically equivalent standards. | No automatic testing is possible, requires a lot of manual work. But testing according to ISO 3384-1 and 3384-2 is possible of course. |
Possible to run tests automatically with either stable or cyclic temperatures. | The temperature will not be stable throughout the whole test, the measurements will, as default, take place in ambient room temperature (can also be done within a special temperature chamber). |
Test either in compression or tension, in air/gases or liquid. | Test in compression, air or liquid (liquid might be rather messy during the measurements). |
Automatic testing according to ISO 3384-1 method B with a programmable oven. | |

For Stress Relaxation Tests
• Relaxation tests can be done in both compression and tension.
• Utilizing load cells and servo motors to apply and hold the compression in the EB 18-II-3, automatically compensates for the spring effect in the load cells.
• The compression or tension in mm or % is set in the software and the computer instructs the closed loop circuit of the servo motor and load cell amplifier to keep the set value.
• High accuracy in the displacement measurement.
• Results are presented in graphical or table formats as absolute relaxation in N or as F/F0 in absolute or relative time as well as linear or log time.
• Possibility of running new features such as load and temperature ramps controlled by the computer.
• Test can be made in liquids using a liquid container (option).
For Creep tests
• Creep test can be done in both compression and tension.
• Utilizing load cells and servo motors to apply and hold the load, the EB 18-II-3 tester eliminates the handling problems associated with dead load weights.
• The load in MPa or N is set in the software and the computer instructs the closed loop circuit of the servo motor and load cell amplifier to keep the set load. This means that the load is kept even if the computer fails.
• High accuracy in the displacement measurement.
• Results are presented in graphical or table formats as absolute creep or creep index. In order to study the actual sample failure the data logging rate is increased just before break occurs.
• Possibility of running new features such as load and temperature ramps controlled by the computer.
• Test can be made in liquids using a liquid container (option).
