Test Specimen Molding
Beaumont’s Test Specimen Molding is Held to the Industry’s Highest Standards
At Beaumont Advanced Processing, we realize that the properties of plastic materials are significantly influenced by how they are molded and handled. With this in mind, we have developed a high precision molding cell dedicated to producing plastic test specimens to the highest standards in the industry.
We can provide a number of ASTM Test Specimens and ISO Test Specimens in addition to custom projects. Our available test specimens include: Tensile Bars, Flex / Izod Bars, Plaques, Disks, Miscellaneous, and Custom Specimens. View the complete list of our available test specimens here.
Beaumont Advanced Processing is ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 13485:2016 Certified.
