Description
The 150 mm Dumbbell Cutting Die is a high-precision tool used for preparing standardized tensile test specimens from rubber, plastic, and similar flexible materials. Manufactured from hardened steel, the die ensures clean, repeatable, and burr-free cuts, essential for reliable mechanical testing results.
The die profile is accurately machined to maintain uniform gauge length and width, minimizing variation between samples. It is compatible with manual presses, hydraulic presses, and sample cutting presses commonly used in material testing laboratories.
This cutting die is widely used in rubber testing labs, cable manufacturers, polymer testing facilities, and academic research institutes.
