Heat Aging
Heat Aging, Oven Aging exposure is performed in calibrated ovens on engineering polymers that may experience elevated temperature exposure in applications ranging from automotive to industrial.
Scope:
Oven aging is often used to accelerate the aging process. It is also a way of simulating conditions the specimen may be exposed to in the product lifetime. Standard testing can be performed on the aged samples and comparison can be made to non-aged samples.
Test Procedure:
The samples are placed in an aging oven. The temperature and duration are specified by the customer. The specimens are removed and tested after oven aging is complete.
Specimen size:
Sample size is dependent on the tests to be performed after the aging process.
