Catheters are essential for interventional procedures, and their reliability is verified through critical tests like tensile, lubricity, and trackability testing. These assessments ensure that catheters meet the demands of medical applications, driving advancements in catheter technology.

The Series 2 digital force gauges from Mark-10 Corp. are designed for basic tension and compression force testing applications up to 500 pounds.

Catheters are used for various medical procedures, including addressing issues in a person's arterial network and urological conditions. They also deliver medical devices and treat conditions such as clogged arteries and irregular heartbeats. Testing for catheters includes tensile testing, lubricity testing, and usability/trackability testing.

UTM is versatile and cost-effective, evaluating physical properties while adhering to industry standards. They test durability and establish load thresholds for functionality, safety during use, and minimum loads for usability, improving the quality of the final product.

In this article, we narrow the focus to the specific domain of crush testing for granules, pellets, and similar test specimens.

Whether you are an OEM testing an airframe or a third tier supplier testing high strength alloys, it is crucial to use a reliable tensile testing system that can produce repeatable results.

Two basic types of tensile test are broadly relevant; is the test specimen strong enough to resist breakage, or is it easy to use safely and efficiently?

Does residual stress affect quality? The short answer is “yes.” The better question is, “How does residual stress affect quality?”

The tensile testing processes remain constant and with a good understanding of your organization’s relevant quality assurance requirements, dealing with evolving external factors can be relieved.

The pandemic has turned the global supply chain on its head. Manufacturers of materials and finished items are under unprecedented pressure to manage a disrupted workforce, while responding to ever-changing customer demands, in many cases with profound urgency. It’s enough to make one’s head spin.
