Poisson's ratio measurement

Introducing a case study of measuring Poisson's ratio using a tensile testing machine and strain gauges!

We would like to introduce the Poisson's ratio measurement conducted by our company. Poisson's ratio is the ratio of longitudinal strain to lateral strain that occurs when a load is applied to an object, and it is necessary for strength calculations of materials. We can accommodate Poisson's ratio measurements and strength measurements through tensile testing. Please feel free to consult with us. 【Measurement Examples】 ■ Measurements using a tensile testing machine ■ Strain measurement results and Poisson's ratio calculation results *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

Clear presentation of analysis results using polyamide imide materials and IR devices, along with data analysis!

This document presents a case study that elucidates the causes of discoloration in super engineering plastic polyamide-imide (PAI) films used in coatings, composite film materials, and various molded products through instrumental analysis and reaction mechanisms. It includes analysis results from infrared (IR) devices, data analysis, and reaction mechanisms, starting with the material polyamide-imide. While the storage stability of raw materials is essential in product manufacturing, environmental conditions during the processing can sometimes induce defects. We encourage you to read on.

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.

Japan is one of the top 10 countries in the world with frequent earthquakes. The 2020 White Paper on Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has also reported an increase in the probability of major earthquakes occurring. Regarding the Nankai Trough earthquake, the probability of an earthquake with a magnitude of 8 to 9 occurring within the next 30 years is estimated to be 70 to 80%. At Hotron, we recommend the introduction of seismic devices for earthquake countermeasures in buildings and equipment. The seismic device 'HK-2' is a product that automatically performs various controls that have been pre-set when it detects strong shaking equivalent to a seismic intensity of 5 lower or higher. For example, it can automatically execute actions such as: "Open automatic doors and gates to secure evacuation routes and access for emergency vehicles" "Transmit signals to the control room and stop facility equipment" "Unlock the keys to locked lockers" "Automatically play voice guidance" For more details, please download the materials or contact us.

Do you have any concerns or requests regarding wired bed exit sensors? × Tangling or tripping over wired cables × Cable disconnection or damage × Worrying about forgetting to turn the switch back on after temporarily stopping the sensor. × Wanting to be notified of bed exits even from a location far from the nurse call outlet. Such concerns can be resolved simply by connecting our wireless nurse call linked set to the sensor! Our wireless nurse call linked set allows you to connect bed exit sensors like "Ugo-kun," "Foldable Thin Matta-kun," "Ayumi-chan," and "Just Place Pole-kun" to transmitters and receivers, reducing wiring around the bed area, alleviating concerns about tripping or falling due to cables, and contributing to a tidier work environment. Furthermore, it enables the use of bed exit sensors even from locations far from the nurse call outlet, allowing for more flexible equipment placement.

Based on practical experience in support companies and business companies, SBS Marketing Co., Ltd. provides consulting services related to marketing, sales promotion, and customer acquisition primarily in the BtoB (business-to-business) sector. On June 4, 2026, we published a page titled "Do We Set 'Forecasts' Too Optimistically Compared to Reality? The 'Planning Fallacy'." The 'Planning Fallacy' refers to the psychological phenomenon of underestimating the time, costs, and risks involved in carrying out tasks while overestimating the benefits. The page explains examples of its occurrence, the factors that lead to it, and methods to overcome it. (Page Overview: Excerpts) ■ What is the 'Planning Fallacy'? ■ Examples of the 'Planning Fallacy' ■ Why does the 'Planning Fallacy' occur? ■ How to overcome the 'Planning Fallacy'?

Kort Valuta has released a workplace initiative model that leverages points exchangeable for electronic money to support the adoption of safety and wellness habits. Examples include: ・Hydration reporting ・Viewing heatstroke prevention content ・Pre-shift condition checks ・Voice-based condition checks By linking these activities to incentive points, organizations can encourage voluntary participation while supporting workplace safety and employee well-being. The model is designed not only for frontline environments such as: ・Logistics ・Construction ・Manufacturing but also for office-based health and well-being programs. Safety posters and reminders alone are often not enough to drive lasting behavioral change. We hope this initiative provides a practical example for organizations seeking new approaches to workplace safety and employee engagement.
