The ChemInstruments HT-8 High Temperature 8 Bank Shear Tester is designed to perform high temperature shear tests. The variability of SAFT tests depend on the mass in the oven, specific heat factors, wattage of the heating system, fan speed, and program & operator technique. The SOSI-8 is the result of ChemInstruments development of a standard rack, controller and oven combination, which greatly aids in producing uniform results between laboratories using this system.

HT-8 High Temperature 8 Bank Shear Tester

PSTC 107 Procedure G, TLMI Test No. 7, FINAT test No. 8, and ASTM D 3654 procedure C for Holding Power of pressure Sensitive Tapes are able to be performed on HT-8. The standard model has switches that can withstand temperatures up to 400° F (204° C). Additionally, the HT-8 High Temperature 8 Bank Shear Tester can perform shear test in humidity chambers or freezers.

Features:

  • Mechanical switches can be calibrated to trip when using weights from 100 to 1000 grams.
  • Adjustable feet allow the user to level the testing plane.
  • Uses standard 2" x 3" (5cm x 7.5cm) stainless steel test panels as specified in PSTC test methods.
  • Removable panel racks help to avoid wide temperature swings.
  • Adjustable angle panel rack allows user to quickly switch test angle from 178° to 90°.
  • Clock box built into the face of the oven.

SO-8 Shear Test Oven

The ChemInstruments SO-8 Shear Test Oven is a forced-ventilation oven with a ramping controller for performing heat-fail temperature shear testing of hot melt and pressure sensitive adhesives. It complies with the SAFT test method ASTM D4498 (Heat-Fail Temperature in Shear of Hot Melt Adhesives).

Features:

  • 15 segment/30 step programmable controller.
  • Ramping controller is capable of maintaining up to 10 different programs.
  • Shear test platform can withstand temperatures up to 400° F (204° C).
  • Oven temperature can go up to 500° F (260° C) with the shear test platform removed.
  • Temperature maintained with +/-1% of differential. Capable of temperature rise of 1 degree F per min.
  • Electrical requirements - 120 Volts; 14 A. 240 V version available.
  • Viewing window in door.
  • Extra outside port allows oven to be used while doing room temp shear tests.
