Film Free Shrink Tester F0006 

 
  
 Linear Thermal Shrinkage or Free Shrink is defined as the irreversible and rapid reduction in linear dimension, in a specified direction, occurring in film exposed to elevated temperatures. Shrinkage in this way is related to the material of the film and internal stresses locked in the film (by the manufacturing process). The Film Free Shrink Tester consists of a small, circular aluminum block, electrically heated and controlled by a temperature controller. Using aluminum foil discs with silicon oil, the test piece is placed into it to accelerate shrinkage at selectable temperatures.
