Yes. It is a very rigorous test. Immerse part for 3 minutes; then wash thoroughly in water. If there are no visible cracks then the part has minimal stress. Poor mouldings will fail quickly eg less than 30 seconds. To remove all stresses in the Polycarbonate part, heat in an oven for 15mins at 130 degrees C. These parts, once cooled, will pass the test. Some Polycarbonate applications need 3minutes resistance; otheres may be acceptable at 1 minutes resistance. It depends on the part eg medical parts or parts that will be exposed to loads or chemicals need better resistance. Alternative tests for Polycarbonate; by volume; these are less rigorous: 15minutes immersion in 1:1 solution of n-proponal and ethyl acetate 3mins immersion in 1:3 solution of toluene and n-propyl alcohol matterbury@ait.ie

Why do tree trunks split?

Tree trunks split due to internal stresses caused by factors such as rapid growth, changes in temperature, or physical damage. These stresses can weaken the wood fibers, leading to cracks or splits in the trunk.

Why is annealing done?

Annealing can bring about ductility, soften material and it relieves internal stresses, This will improve the ability to work the metals when they are cold i.e. when bending steel in presses to make metal frames etc


Why it is necessary to temper hardened steel immediately after quenching?

to avoid the high internal stresses caused by quenching and to get tempered Martensite that is less brittle

Vague question but I assume you mean annealing or stress-relieving, to remove internal stresses created by the welding heat.


How does the addition of calcium carbonate affect the use of glass pitchers and vases?

Adding calcium carbonate to glass can improve its thermal resistance and increase its durability. This results in glass pitchers and vases being less likely to break or shatter when exposed to temperature changes or physical stresses. However, excessive amounts of calcium carbonate can make the glass opaque or cloudy, affecting its transparency and overall aesthetic appeal.
