What are Test Methods?



Test Methods refer to the procedures for measurements that are important in the plastics manufacturing industry for quality inspections, as well as for Research and Development. The HIPF course for Test Methods will cover Tensile Test, Flexural, Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT), Melt Flow Rate (MFR), Puncture Impact, Dart Impact, Pendulum Impact, Tear Resistance, Vacuum Oven, Microscope, Caliper, Micrometer, Weighing Scale and Thickness Gauge.
