Shear Test Oven

S-O-8

The ChemInstruments S-O-8 Shear Test Oven is a forced-ventilation oven with a ramping controller for performing heat-fail temperature shear testing of hot melt and pressure sensitive adhesives. It complies with the SAFT test method ASTM D4498. The variability of SAFT tests depend on the mass in the oven, specific heat factors, wattage of the heating system, fan speed, program, and operator technique. The S-O-8 is the result of ChemInstruments development of a standard rack, controller and oven combination, which greatly aids in producing uniform results between laboratories using this system.
