Rubber Evaluations with Instron Testing Machine
S. D. Gehman, R. P. Clifford · Rubber Chemistry and Technology · 1954
Abstract The principles of operation incorporated in the Instron machine give it wide distinctive fields of usefulness in a rubber testing or rubber research laboratory. Its principal limitations for rubber testing are usually associated with unique conditions which occur in rubber testing as contrasted to the testing of other materials. The results available should encourage improvements in the equipment and procedures in general use for rubber stress-strain evaluations.
