Dimensional & Performance Testing
Every silicone product undergoes rigorous multi-stage testing -- from micron-level dimensional verification to accelerated life cycle validation -- ensuring consistent quality across every batch.
01 -- Dimensional Measurement
Micron-Level Precision Verification
Advanced metrology instruments ensure every dimension aligns with engineering drawings and tooling specifications.
Coordinate Measuring & Optical Projection
3D CMM, optical projectors, and 2D vision measurement systems verify length, diameter, wall thickness, and complex geometries with repeatable accuracy within ±0.01 mm.
Standard production tolerance maintained across every injection cycle.
Measurement Tools
- Digital Calipers (0.01 mm)
- Micrometers (0.001 mm)
- 2.5D Vision Measuring Machine
- Optical Comparator
02 -- Weight Inspection
Material Consistency Through Precise Mass Control
Weight verification serves as a critical indicator of material fill, density consistency, and process stability -- detecting voids, short shots, and raw material variations.
03 -- Hardness Testing
Shore A Durometer Verification
Each silicone compound is tested for hardness consistency, ensuring the tactile feel and mechanical behavior match specifications -- from ultra-soft 20A to rigid 80A.
Shore A Scale
Primary scale for silicone pet products, measuring softness from flexible nipples to firm chew toys.
Repeatability Check
Five-point measurement averaging across the sample surface eliminates localized reading errors.
±3 Shore A
Acceptable deviation across production batches, ensuring consistent user experience.
04 -- Tensile Performance
Stretch Strength & Elastic Recovery
Universal tensile testing machines quantify tensile strength and elongation at break -- critical metrics for foldable bowls, collars, and silicone bands that endure daily pulling forces.
Tensile Strength
≥ 7.5 MPa -- maximum stress before rupture.
Elongation at Break
≥ 400% -- material stretchability tested to failure.
Toughness Enhancement
+45% improvement over standard silicone formulations.
05 -- Tear Resistance
Resistance to Propagating Cuts & Damage
Trouser tear and Die-B specimen tests measure resistance to crack propagation -- essential for products subject to pet bites, scratches, and prolonged mechanical stress.
06 -- Compression & Rebound
Elastic Memory Under Sustained Load
Compression set testing evaluates how well silicone recovers after prolonged pressure -- vital for sealing gaskets, foldable bowls, and cushioned pet mats.
Compression Set
22h @ 70°C under 25% compression. Permanent deformation ≤ 20%.
Rebound Resilience
Impact-based energy return measurement -- rebound rate ≥ 55%.
Fold Durability
10,000+ folding cycles without surface cracks or shape distortion.
07 -- Seal & Leak Testing
Watertight Verification for Travel Products
Pet travel bottles, collapsible bowls, and sealed containers undergo rigorous pressure and immersion testing to guarantee leak-proof performance in real-world usage.
Water Immersion Test
Pressure Decay Test
Drop & Shake Simulation
Thermal Shock Seal Test
08 -- Functional & Life Testing
Simulated Lifecycle Validation
Accelerated aging and functional endurance tests replicate years of real-world pet use within controlled chambers.
UV Aging
500 hours of UV exposure testing color stability and surface integrity.
High/Low Temp
−40°C to +200°C cycling confirms thermal stability.
Chew Simulation
Mechanical jaw simulators validate bite resistance over 50,000 cycles.
Adhesion Test
Peel strength verification on silicone-to-plastic and silicone-to-metal bonding.
