The Innegra S fiber technology, commercialized in 2012, continues expansion in new applications, which can be seen in the Innegra booth: Boot insoles, radomes, blast- and ballistic-resistant structures, transportation. Innegra S is characterized as low density (0.84 g/cm 3 bulk density), tough, flexible and ductile, moisture and chemical resistant, temperature resistant (-100°C to 60°C operational range), has a low dielectric constant (D k = 2.2) and loss factor (D f = 0.0009), and is low in cost. Booth Q70. www.innegratech.com Fiber winding & tensioning technologies Izumi International Inc. (Greenville, SC, US) is emphasizing its full line of winders and creels, and its warp and weft feeding and tensioning devices for carbon fiber and other high-performance fibers. Izumi also is presenting information on its new partnerships with Musashi, makers of precision fluid dispensers, and Moltec, which provides wire and cable protection, with patented Grip Lock tech- nology. Booth P83. www.izumiinternational.com Video-based nondestructive testing Noncontact precision measurement specialist Imetrum Ltd. (Bristol, UK) is demonstrating its integrated material testing system, Universal Video Extensometer (UVX), designed for ease of use and fast throughput. UVX meets most standards- based material testing and is adaptable to batch testing. It is designed to integrate with all leading manufacturers' test machines and is characterized as a cost- effective alternative to strain-gauging coupons. In addition, measurement data is captured by pre- calibrated extensometer modules that are specified by gage length and percentage strain. Parameters associated with each module are pre-set, eliminating the need for the test technician or materials engineer to understand optics or worry about focus and camera settings. The 200- and 250-series modules allow precision measurements down to 0.01% strain. These modules are suited to determining modulus, Poisson's ratio, and other low-strain material properties, such as R and N values, for almost all materials, including composites, metals, plastics, rubbers and ceramics.
