Strain Viewers (polariscopes) are suitable for inspection of nearly any size product. In clear and translucent polymers, residual strains become visible when viewed with Strainoptics’ polariscopes. The strains appear as a colorful fringe pattern, which reveals a wealth of information.

A comprehensive instruction manual teaches you how to interpret the color pattern. In production, this simple test can quickly identify defective parts and alert operators to adjust process parameters. The procedure is non-destructive and fast!

Quantitative measurements can also be obtained for many applications with an optional compensator, in accordance with ASTM test methods.

Unlike simple crossed polarizers, our polariscopes use circular polarizers which assure that stresses are properly observed regardless of specimen position or orientation.

A plane-polarized model is available for glass applications – specify Model SV-2000-P.

Typical applications of Strainoptics’ polariscopes (strain viewers) include:

• Thermoformed packaging
• Medical components
• Automotive components
