Portable Strain Viewer PSV-100

Used for:

Visual inspection of stresses in glass and plastics

Application:

• Evaluation of temper in glass
• Verification of annealing
• Observation of strains in moulded products
• Detection of weld and flow patterns
• Examination of flow patterns and gate efficiency
• Identification of irregularities due to mould deficiencies or temperature gradients

Residual stress can enhance a product, making it stronger, or contribute to the product’s failure. Surveillance and monitoring of residual stress is an important element of Process and Quality Control in all industries

Principle of operation:

The PSV-100 is a rugged, portable strain viewer for polariscopic examination of transparent or translucent products, revealing strains and stresses due to manufacturing processes.
