Driving Reliability: The Critical Role of Automotive Component Testing

Introduction

Understanding Component Testing

Component testing involves analyzing individual vehicle parts to confirm their safety, performance, and longevity under simulated real-world conditions. This step is essential before mass production, ensuring that manufacturers meet regulatory standards and customer expectations.

Types of Component Testing

Melt Flow Rate Testing
Assesses the flow properties of thermoplastics used in components like bumpers and interior trims, ensuring proper moldability and consistency.
HDT/VSP Testing
Measures the heat deflection and softening points of polymers, vital for parts exposed to high temperatures such as engine bay housings.
TGA and DSC Analysis
These thermal tests reveal stability, degradation, and heat capacity of materials, helping to predict their behavior in harsh environments.
Ash Content Testing
Identifies filler materials in plastics and rubber to ensure material integrity and performance.
Noise, Vibration, Harshness (NVH) Testing
Enhances comfort and product perception by reducing unwanted vibrations and noise in cabins.

Benefits to OEMs and Suppliers

By investing in precise component testing:

Quality improves, reducing the risk of defects.
Costs are controlled through fewer recalls and rework.
Innovation accelerates by enabling better material selection and design validation.

Tensile Specimen Preparation As Per ASTM D638 and ISO 527

Reliable Tensile Specimen Preparation in Chennai – Compliant with ASTM D638 and ISO 527

Introduction

The Importance of Proper Tensile Specimen Preparation

Whether you’re testing plastics, rubber, or composites, tensile testing provides key mechanical properties such as ultimate tensile strength, elongation, and modulus. However, the value of this data depends entirely on the quality of the specimen preparation. Poorly prepared specimens can yield inaccurate results, leading to potential product failure or costly redesigns.

That’s why at Kiyo R&D Center in Chennai, we offer specialized tensile specimen preparation services tailored to conform strictly with ASTM D638 and ISO 527.

ASTM D638 – U.S. Standard for Plastic Tensile Testing

The ASTM D638 standard is widely used across the plastics industry for evaluating the tensile properties of unreinforced and reinforced plastics. It details:

Specimen dimensions (Types I–V)
Standardized gauge lengths
Required test speeds
Environmental conditions for testing

At Kiyo R&D Center, we prepare specimens using precision CNC machining and die-cutting tools, ensuring dimensional accuracy and a high-quality surface finish that aligns with ASTM D638 standards.

ISO 527 – International Standard for Plastic Materials

ISO 527 serves as the globally accepted standard for determining tensile properties of plastics. It differs from ASTM D638 in specimen dimensions, types (typically Type 1A), and test speed definitions, especially for materials with high elongation at break.

We maintain strict control over environmental factors, specimen geometry, and cutting techniques to ensure all ISO 527 requirements are consistently met for international testing and compliance.
