UNIT I |
TESTING STANDARDS |
5 |
---|
Importance of testing, Standard and specifications- National and International standards-BIS, ASTM, ISO,BS,DIN,JIS etc- Laboratory accreditations – NABL, NABCB, APLAC etc.
UNIT II |
IDENTIFICATION OF PLASTICS |
9 |
---|
Identification of plastics by simple methods e.g., visual inspection, density, effects of heat, combustion and solvents analysis, melting & Softening point, elemental analysis, confirmation test- analytical techniques used for identification and quantification of additives and fillers.
UNIT III |
TESTING OF MECHANICAL PROPERTIES |
12 |
---|
Preconditioning and test atmosphere, Specimen preparation techniques – Moulding, Contour cutting, contour punching, etc. Techniques for testing of Short term mechanical properties of Plastics – Stress – Strain curve, toughness, brittle and ductile nature of materials, Tensile, Flexural, Compression, Shear, Impact strength, Tear, abrasion, Hardness and friction test.
UNIT IV |
TESTING OF THERMAL AND OPTICAL PROPERTIES |
10 |
---|
Techniques for testing of Thermal properties – Melting Point, Specific heat capacity, HDT, VSP, Flammability (Rate of burning, UL 94, LOI ), Ignition properties of plastics.Thermal conductivity, Coefficient of Thermal Expansion, Brittleness Temperature Optical properties – Luminous transmittance, Haze, Specular Gloss, Refractive Index, colour measurement, optical microscopy
UNIT V |
