Tensile test

Testing service for plastic films using a universal testing machine (autograph) in a heated environment!

The "tensile test" measures the load and displacement (elongation) of a material when it is pulled at a constant speed, in order to determine the material's physical and mechanical properties. By pulling the test specimen in a temperature-controlled chamber, it is possible to assess and understand the temperature dependence of these properties. Our company is capable of conducting material property tests under temperature conditions. We can also propose conditions tailored to the materials and properties you wish to measure. Please feel free to consult with us. 【Test Machine Specifications】 ■ Temperature range of the temperature-controlled chamber: -40 to 250℃ ■ Load cell: 50kN, 1kN ■ Load accuracy: ±1% of the load indication value ■ Test speed: 0.0005 to 1000 mm/min ■ Travel distance ・Tensile test section: 1485 mm *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Useful for quality control over the years! Ultra-micro hardness measurement of materials such as metals, polymers, and ceramics.

Our "Ultra-Micro Hardness Measurement for Material Evaluation" allows for the ultra-micro hardness measurement of materials such as metals, polymers, plastics, and ceramics. Additionally, since hardness can be quantified, it is also useful for long-term quality control. The hardness is determined by directly reading the depth of the indentation while applying a load to the indenter. It is also possible to determine characteristic values related to recovery behavior. 【Device Overview】 ■ Test force range: 0.4mN to 1000mN, Accuracy: ±0.02mN ■ Indentation range: 1nm (0.01μm) to 700μm *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Leave it to us for everything from chemical analysis and physical testing to reliability testing! Introduction to our measurement and evaluation services.

Plastic extrusion/injection molding processing is set according to the heat resistance temperature (melting point Tm) of the raw materials; however, due to the degradation and alteration of the materials, there are cases where molding becomes difficult at the specified setting temperature. By checking the melt flow rate (MFR) of plastic raw materials in pellet or powder form, it is possible to determine whether there are any changes compared to conventional products. We present a case where untreated (no load), temperature and humidity load (constant temperature and humidity test), and UV-irradiated PP (polypropylene) were injected and evaluated at a temperature of 230°C and a load of 5kg, so please take a look at the PDF download. [Evaluation Case] ■PP: Polypropylene ■8585: 85°C 85% × 336 hours ■UV: UV irradiation 253.7nm × 336 hours ■Injection time: 10 minutes (converted from 3 minutes) *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Essential materials alongside metals and inorganic materials! Introducing examples of analysis and evaluation services for organic materials.

Organic materials such as solvents, additives, pharmaceuticals, and plastics are essential materials alongside metals and inorganic materials. They have a wide variety of types due to the combination of light elements, and their specificity is manifested through structure, intermolecular forces, and electron behavior. However, it seems that chemical instrumentation analysis and evaluation are necessary for a fundamental understanding of their properties. This document presents case studies of analysis and evaluation services for organic materials.

The analysis device also supports the analysis and evaluation of polymers! Information on the configuration and principles of high-temperature SEC equipment is included!

The molecular weight of resins such as plastics is not a single value but is composed of multiple molecular weights. By understanding this molecular weight and its distribution, it leads to a better understanding of the mechanisms and theories related to the properties and degradation of resins. In this document, we will introduce a case study where we measured polypropylene resin (PP) samples with and without ultraviolet (UV) irradiation using a high-temperature GPC device suitable for measuring polyolefin-based materials that are difficult to dissolve in solvents at room temperature, and conducted data analysis. We encourage you to read it. 【Contents】 ■ Configuration and principles of high-temperature SEC ■ Analysis case: Molecular weight measurement of PP subjected to UV irradiation ■ Application examples ■ Specifications and considerations for high-temperature SEC *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We are pleased to announce the establishment of the "Kyushu Sales Office" aimed at strengthening our business foundation in the Kyushu area. With the opening of the new sales office, we will be able to respond more quickly and flexibly to our customers in the Kyushu region, while enhancing our support system closely tied to the local community. We will also deepen our collaboration with local partner companies, aiming for further growth of our business while strengthening our trust with the community. We kindly ask for your continued support for the Kyushu Sales Office and our company. Thank you very much. 【Overview of Kyushu Sales Office】 Establishment Date: January 1, 2026 Company Name: BM Nagano Co., Ltd. Kyushu Sales Office Location: 1-15-20 Hakataekimae, Hakata Ward, Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture, 812-0011, NMF Hakataekimae Building 2nd Floor

We have recently started a demonstration experiment aimed at addressing antibiotic-resistant bacteria in dairy farming. Utilizing compost environments, we will examine the impact of using our technology-based aqueous solutions on microbial dynamics. This experiment is being conducted with field cooperation, aiming to establish a new approach that contributes to the realization of a sustainable livestock environment and the reduction of antibiotic usage. In this trial, we will set up a spray group (Group H) and a non-spray group (Group C), and will conduct a time-series comparison before spraying, immediately after spraying, and at 1, 3, 7, 14, 28, and 42 days, as well as at the maturation stage. We will perform sampling from the upper, middle, and lower layers of the compost at a depth of 10 cm, while simultaneously collecting temperature logs (external temperature and two internal compost temperatures) to analyze microbial changes and fermentation status from multiple angles. Based on scientific data, we will pursue a balance between safety and effectiveness, and work towards contributing to the livestock industry.

[SCM Brochure Update] We have updated the brochure for the remote-controlled unmanned excavation method, Safety Climber Method, which is promoted by K-F as a supporting member.
