Client Profile: Atlantic Industries Limited, Canada
Atlantic Industries Limited (AIL), a worldwide pioneer in creative infrastructure solutions, needed sophisticated material testing equipment to guarantee their HDPE pipes comply with high quality and durability standards. Testron Group provided and installed two state-of-the-art testing devices to Atlantic Industries Limited to meet their demands—TT-NCLS 20 Notched Constant Ligament Stress Tester and TT-FW Falling Weight Impact Tester.
Challenges Encountered by Atlantic Industries Limited
AIL deals with producing high-performance HDPE corrugated pipes, which have extensive applications in critical infrastructure development projects. Ensuring the long-term reliability and durability of such pipes necessitated accurate testing solutions to determine the following:
- Resistance to slow crack growth under sustained ligament stress.
- Impact resistance to external impacts, simulating actual conditions.
They wanted a reliable partner in material testing who could ensure dependable, industry-grade solutions that would simplify their quality control procedure.
Testron’s Solution: Installation of TT-NCLS 20 & TT-FW Falling Weight Impact Tester
1. TT-NCLS 20 Notched Constant Ligament Stress Tester
TT-NCLS 20 Notched Constant Ligament Stress Tester was the ideal solution for AIL’s needs. This notched constant ligament stress tester is designed to measure the susceptibility of HDPE resins and pipes towards slow crack growth under a constant ligament stress condition.
Avalanche of Benefits for AIL:
- Compliant with ASTM, ISO, and DIN standards.
- Offers accelerated ageing tests to forecast long-term pipe performance.
- Ensures AIL’s HDPE pipes are up to industry standards regarding durability.
- Minimises failure risks by determining susceptibility to crack growth beforehand.
2. TT-FW Falling Weight Impact Tester
In addition to the stress testing, Testron also provided the TT-FW Falling Weight Impact Tester. The drop weight impact tester measures the resistance of HDPE pipes to sudden impact, making them durable for practical use.
Key Features & Benefits:
- Measures the impact resistance of thermoplastic pipes.
- Applies Round-the-Clock & Staircase Methods for accurate testing.
- Guarantees compliance with ISO and ASTM standards.
- Optimises material selection for AIL’s product development.
With these two state-of-the-art intrinsic viscosity testing equipment, AIL improved the quality assurance of its HDPE pipes considerably, further demonstrating its commitment to providing long-lasting and high-performing infrastructure solutions.
