ASTM D4255 / D4255M-15a
ASTM D4255 is a test method for testing the in-plane shear properties of high-modulus fiber-reinforced composite materials. The method is divided into two procedures. Procedure A tests laminates clamped between two pairs of loading rails.

Syringe tube pull-off testing
Customised engineering example
Pull-off tensile tests require careful gripping of the separating parts in order to avoid distorting them and therefore artificially weakening the joint.

Custom bottle cap mandrels
Customised engineering example
Plastic caps applied to bottles may be thin-walled and flexible, so that they become distorted when gripped by an operator during torque testing.
