Welcome to ‘Torque About Force’ an informal, and we hope you find informative look at how the measurement of force and torque affects our life from day to day.

As consumers we typically press, push, open, tear, twist, and unscrew dozens of items in any given day. From pushing open our front doors in the morning, turning our car steering wheels on our daily commute to tapping our computer keypads at work. We tear open a snack packet at lunch, pop the cork on a good bottle of wine and press the speed dial button on our latest touch screen phone for a chat with our friends at the end of our working day.

We all apply force in our every day life!

Have a read and let us know what you think. We look forward to reading your responses.

Thank you for visiting ‘Torque About Force’.

Improve your elasticity testing with our new extended travel stands

We have just launched new longer-length test stands for improved determination of break strength and elongation when testing rubber and film samples.

The extended stands are constructed using a rigid aluminium base-casting and precision ballscrew, making them ideal for elongation testing up to 1200mm of highly elastic material such as rubber and film. To accommodate the extra length and to comply with the EU Topple Test, these long stands are fitted with stability bases made of steel.

The new 1kN and 0.5kN models are available with software and electronics from Mecmesin’s established range of MultiTest-d, MultiTest-xt and MultiTest-i tension and compression test frames.

The extended stands are now in full production with the first machine being supplied to a large manufacturer in Australia to enable improved testing of female hygiene products.

Our MD, John Page, says: "Quality Control Managers in the plastics and rubber industries will now find it much easier to test their samples and the results will be more representative of the materials benig tested which will significiantly improve their production process."

If you would like to know more about our new longer-length test stands, please give us a ring on: 01403 799 979 or e-mail: info@mecmesin.com
