Frequently Asked Questions
What materials can the QE-6201S test?
It can test plastics, rubber, films, flexible packaging, adhesives, wire, cable, composites, light metallic specimens and finished components, provided the expected test force does not exceed 20 kN.
Does the QE-6201S comply with ASTM and ISO standards?
The system can be configured to perform numerous ASTM and ISO methods. Standards compliance depends on the selected load cell, fixtures, extensometer, calibration, software method and operating procedure.
Can the machine test metallic specimens?
Yes, but the specimen geometry and expected breaking force must remain within the 20 kN capacity. Full-size or high-strength metal specimens may require a 50 kN, 100 kN or larger testing machine.
Is the standard 20 kN load cell suitable for films and peel testing?
Not always. The published force-measurement range begins at 2% of full scale, equivalent to approximately 400 N with a 20 kN load cell. A lower-capacity load cell is recommended when the measured forces are substantially below this level.
Can the machine determine elastic modulus?
The software can calculate elastic modulus. However, an appropriate extensometer is normally required when accurate or standards-based strain measurements are needed.
