Patent number: 11441980Abstract: A system and method for performing a tear test are described herein. The system may include a fixed clamping station configured to hold a first portion of a film specimen and a movable clamp coupled to an actuator, the movable clamp may be configured to hold a second portion of the film specimen. The movable clamp may be configured to move in a direction away from the fixed clamping station to tear the film specimen. The system may include a slitter blade configured to cut the film specimen at a location between the fixed clamping station and the movable clamp. The system may include a load cell coupled to one of the fixed clamping station and the movable clamp. The load cell may be configured to measure a force associated with tearing of the film specimen. The actuator may be configured to manipulate the movable clamp along a trajectory.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2018Date of Patent: September 13, 2022Assignee: Dow Global Technologies LLCInventors: Sanjay C. Solanki, Donald L. McCarty, II, Robert A. Gunther, Jin Wang, Kyle A. Myers, Margaret C. Hayes

Patent number: 11313879Abstract: A device for analyzing a physical characteristic of a film sample is described herein. The device includes a clamping system configured to hold the film sample. The device further includes a dart probe system configured to test a physical characteristic of the film sample. The dart probe system has a dart probe, a propulsion system configured to move the dart probe relative to the clamping system, and a force sensor configured to measure a force that the dart probe is subjected to during a movement of the dart probe. The force sensor is configured to measure a force imparted to the film sample when the dart probe comes in contact with the film sample.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2018Date of Patent: April 26, 2022Assignees: Dow Global Technologies LLC, Rohm and Haas CompanyInventors: Donald L. McCarty, II, Erick Sutanto, Larry Dotson, Brayden E. Glad, Hitendra Singh, John Lund
