Strain Viewer

Strain viewer is an essential tool in quality control and material testing for transparent materials like glass and plastics. Polariscope strain viewer works by using polarized light to reveal stress patterns within the material. When the material is placed between two polarizing filters, any internal stress will alter the light's polarization, creating visible patterns or colors that indicate the presence and distribution of stress. This non-destructive testing method is particularly useful in industries where the integrity of transparent materials is critical, such as in the manufacturing of optical components, safety glass, and plastic products. By identifying areas of stress, manufacturers can address potential weaknesses or defects before the product is put into use, ensuring higher quality and safety standards. PTC’s advanced Polariscope Strain Viewer utilize polarized light for precise stress analysis, making PTC a leader in stress detection technology.

Types of Strain Viewer

Safety Measures of Strain Viewer

Ensure Proper Handling

Always wear appropriate protective gear, such as gloves and safety glasses, to prevent injuries from broken glass or sharp edges.

Maintain Cleanliness

Keep the strain viewer and the workspace clean and free from dust and debris to ensure accurate readings and prevent contamination.

Follow Manufacturer's Instructions

Adhere to the manufacturer's guidelines for setup, use, and maintenance of the strain viewer to ensure safe and efficient operation.

Applications of Strain Viewer

Detect Internal Stress in Materials

Strain viewers can reveal internal stress in transparent materials. This is crucial for quality control in manufacturing process to ensure the structural integrity of products.

Analyze Stress Distribution in Composites

In composite materials, strain viewers help in understanding how stress is distributed across different components. This information is vital for designing materials that can withstand specific loads and conditions.

Ensure the Reliability of Biomedical Implants

In biomedical engineering, strain viewers are used to ensure that implants, such as artificial joints and dental prosthetics, are free from internal stress which could lead to failure. This is critical for patient safety and the longevity of the implants.
