Equipped for Testing: Complex-Shaped Sample Cutting, a CTT Expertise<\/strong>
\nPreparing samples with complex shapes is a challenge that CTT meets thanks to our waterjet cutting equipment.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The CTT group has a waterjet cutting machine that facilitates the preparation of complex-shaped samples to meet the specific specimen template requirements outlined in standards.<\/p>\n

The principle is to reduce machining stresses by using a high-pressure water jet mixed with an abrasive during the specimen cutting process.<\/p>\n

This equipment can cut metal, glass, plastic, various composites<\/strong>, tile, rubber, and even foam<\/strong> with a positioning accuracy of 0.08 mm. This technology reduces the risk of delaminating the material during machining, as the cutting is done cold without overheating the specimen.<\/p>\n

We frequently use this equipment to prepare ASTM D638 Type 1 to 5<\/strong> tensile specimens and ASTM D695<\/strong> compression specimens, which have specific curvature radii<\/strong> in the transition area outside the grip.<\/p>\n

Additionally, we cut specimens for ASTM D5379<\/strong> and ASTM D7078 shear<\/strong> tests using the waterjet, which allows for high-quality notches<\/strong> in the area where stress is concentrated during loading.<\/p>\n

The versatility of waterjet cutting is a major asset for preparing polymer and composite samples,<\/strong> as it allows us to quickly try several alternatives and reduce both testing time and costs.<\/p>\n
