Quasi-static mechanical analizer
Mecanum’s Quasi-static Mechanical Analyzer (QMA) is designed to measure the Biot elastic properties of porous materials: Young’s modulus, damping coefficient and Poisson’s ratio.
Why choose Mecanum’s Quasi-Static Mechanical Analyzer?
Follows ISO 18437-5 standard
Choosing a Quasi-Static Mechanical Analyzer compliant with ISO standards ensures accuracy, reliability, and global acceptance. It offers precise measurements, compatibility with other equipment, regulatory compliance, and long-term value, making it a prudent choice for industries and research where Biot properties are crucial.
Made for quality control in production and suppliers control
Mecanum’s Quasi-Static Mechanical Analyzer can be integrated at the end of the production line to test product quality and consistency. The measurement procedure is simple and the software guides the operator to ensure a reliable response, without the need for long and costly training.
This system also allows you to quickly and reliably check the quality of your suppliers’ products. Biot parameters are key parameters governing the acoustic effectiveness of absorbing materials. Testing those parameters at the end of the production line ensures both the acoustic effectiveness of the material and the quality of the production line.
