Film/Fiber Accessory
Description
The TMA film/fiber accessory can be used to
measure the physical properties of fibers or
films as a function of force, temperature, or
time.
Sample tensile stress is calculated using the
following equation:
S
T
= F / A
where:
S
T
= stress at
temperature T
(Pascals)
F = force (Newtons)
A = cross-sectional area
(meters
2
).
The film/fiber accessory kit contains:
• Film/fiber probe
• Film/fiber stage
• Vial of cleaved aluminum balls
• Stainless steel clamps
• Clamp block
• Screwdriver
• Auto Measure gauge.
