What Types of Tests are Performed Using a Universal Testing Machine?
Several types of tests can be performed using a UTM in the context of catalysis:
Compression Tests: Evaluate the strength and crush resistance of catalyst particles or pellets. Tensile Tests: Assess the tensile strength and elongation properties of catalyst supports or coatings. Bending Tests: Determine the flexural strength of monolithic catalysts or catalytic substrates. Creep Tests: Measure how a material deforms under constant stress over time, which is essential for high-temperature applications.
