Shrink
Tension Tester
Referenced Test
Method
ASTM D 2838
The instrument is used to
perform Shrink Tension Test
of plastic sheathing
materials as required by
above Referenced Test
Methods. The
instrument consists of (3)
major parts, the sample
holder, software and
electronic interface box and
temperature bath. To
conduct the test, the liquid
of the temperature bath is
brought to the required test
temperature, when ready; the
prepared sample is placed in
the sample holder and firmly
clamped. When ready, the
sample holder is immersed in
the temperature bath liquid
at which moment the software
takes over the shrink
tension test, recording and
calculations…..etc.
The instrument shows
DEK-TRON’s extensive
experience, commitment to
improvement and excellence.
Features precision machined
parts of carefully selected
materials. The
instrument is meticulously
assembled by our experienced
and dedicated instrument
makers, resulting in a
precision and easy to use
instrument.
The STT-205 XP Series,
Shrink Tension Tester has
evolved from

more accurate and easy to
use. The instrument
can easily be connected to a
lap top or desk top computer
via a USB cable. The
software is offered in a
plug and play CD. The
software allows:
Instrument calibration,
selection of units in Lbs.,
Newtons,
Grams; Print Graphs;
Reports…etc. Old
models can easily be
retrofitted to the new
STT-205 XP Series.
