F0006 - Film Free Shrink Tester

Product details

Linear Thermal Shrinkage or Free Shrink is defined as the irreversible and rapid reduction 

in linear dimension, in a specified direction, occurring in film exposed to elevated temperatures.

Shrinkage in this way is related to the material of the film and internal stresses locked into 

the film (by the manufacturing process).

The Film Free Shrink Tester consists of a small, circular aluminium block, electrically heated 

ａnd controlled by a temperature controller. Using aluminium foil discs with silicon oil, the 

test piece is placed into it to accelerate shrinkage at selectable temperatures.
