| 0.5 | 12.5 |
| 1.0 | 25.8 |
| 1.5 | 38.2 |
| 2.0 | 40.1 |
Automatically Calculated:
- Peak Force: 40.1 N
- Average Force: 29.2 N
- Time to Peak: 2.0 s
Graph Output: A force-versus-time curve showing how force changes throughout the test cycle.
2. Force vs Distance Report
Application: Tensile testing, packaging tests, peel tests
| Distance (mm) | Force (N) |
|---|---|
| 0.0 | 0 |
| 5.0 | 15 |
| 10.0 | 31 |
| 15.0 | 45 |
| 20.0 | 52 |
Automatically Calculated:
- Peak Load: 52 N
- Extension at Peak Load: 20 mm
- Area Under Curve (Work/Energy)
Graph Output: A force-versus-distance graph illustrating material behaviour during testing.
3. Closure Torque Report
Application: Bottle cap and closure testing
| Sample | Opening Torque (N·m) |
|---|---|
| 1 | 1.25 |
| 2 | 1.18 |
