Apparatus To Test Solvent Stress Crazing Of Polymer Sheets

Apparatus simple to make, operate, and maintain used to determine abilities of transparent polymeric seal materials to resist stress crazing when exposed to various cleaning solvents. Includes pulleys, cable, and weights to apply constant tension to specimen sheet immersed in test fluid in glass vessel. Provides visual observation of specimen at any time during test and ease of removal of fluid via drain port at bottom of glass vessel.
