 |
Universal Instrument for determination of micro-mechanical
properties of materials and surfaces
Analysis with sub-micrometer accuracy of micro-mechanic,
micro-tribologic and functional properties of materials.
Determinations of wear, abrasion, scratch resistance,
micro-friction, structure and haptic characteristics.
The scope of application of the UST® is not limited to
only plastics, paints, coatings and prints. Rather, also metal
ceramic, textile, rubber and in medicine e.g. human materials are
accurately measured, evaluated and classified.
The Universal Surface Tester (UST®) enables the
user to determine multiple parameters and functional characteristics
of materials, functions and surfaces with only one, modular
expandable, test stand.
Test procedure
When using the patented MISTAN®-procedure, a
material surface is gauged along a tangent in three steps. This
process includes the measurement of overall deformation, as well as
the elastic and permanent deformation.
Applications
Research &
development of materials and products and quality control for
automotive, coatings, medicine, telecommunication,...
