Design-testing time cut at least 50%

Article Abstract:

Acadia Polymers has successfully cut its design-testing time by at least 50% with the installation of a new test equipment that allows in-house testing of products. The test equipment allows transmission seals to be tested under rotations as high as 8,000 rpm, pressures as high as 500 psi and temperatures as high as 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Other benefits that the company enjoys include more confidence in products and increased ability to keep up with production demands.
