Welcome to our new Instron Community Blog hosted by Instron. It is a compilation of the freshest, brightest, most-talented minds that Instron has to offer. The world of materials science is so vast and encompasses the broadest range of industries, materials, and challenges that no one person can possibly possess all the knowledge required to be the resident expert – or master of materials science. It takes a small army behind the scenes collaborating and sharing technical know-how, experiences, and ideas to present the most accurate, relevant, and timely information to you – our readers.

We invite you to tell us who you are, share your stories and talk about your experiences. Join the Instron Community.

Capturing Testing in Action

We find that many of our customers are faced with questions like “How did this specimen fail?” and “Why does one result look different than the others?” They often need to verify that the test was conducted and that it was conducted properly.  The answer to many of these questions is to use a camera to record the specimen during testing.  Video recording provides R&D engineers, lab managers, university professors, and students’ point-by-point playback of the specimen throughout the test. This source of invaluable information captures failure analysis and gives a better understanding of materials science.
