M Seals test lab
Today M Seals has at its disposal advanced equipment for testing all parameters that are important for the function of our rubber and PTFE parts, such as hardness, spec. gravity and compression set.
To ensure that the rubber compounds consistently meet specification requirements, sampling is made and tested using our Netzsch TGA machine or PerkinElmer FT-IR Spectrophotometer.
For dimensional checking, we have a Micro-Vu high precision 3-D measuring machine using non-contact technique, which is superior for measuring softer materials. Often, we agree special inspection schemes, incoming or outgoing, with our customers.
Our laboratory in Denmark is equipped to carry out different tests for our customers, like volume swell in different liquids.
