Stress Testing 101
Interface load cells are used for stress tests to examine performance data and measure the tested object's reliability, durability, and ultimate strength. Stress testing evaluates the structural integrity of objects and equipment, often pushing them to their limits. This type of testing helps identify design weaknesses or flaws, ensuring that products and components can withstand the stresses they'll encounter in real-world use. Interface 101 Series

Load Cells for Adhesive and Bonding Shear Testing
Interface provides load cells for adhesive and bond force testing. A shear testing machine uses a load cell to measure the shear strength of bonds and adhesives. A peel test is common for adhesives, adhesive-coated tapes, and paints. Load cells quantify the results and help to determine the failure of the paint and adhesive, an important quality control and design requirement.
