Ever seen a Cracked Round Bar (CRB) test? In this video, we showcase in slow motion how a polyethylene test specimen fails under cyclic loading. The CRB test is specifically designed to simulate the slow crack growth (SCG) process in polyethylene (PE) and delivers faster results than traditional methods such as PENT and FNCT.

The Accelerated Notched Pipe Test (ANPT) plays a crucial role in assessing the resistance of polyethylene (PE) pipes to slow crack growth, because it mimics real-world installation damage. However, recent restrictions on the detergent Arkopal N100, traditionally used in the test, have posed challenges for compliance with international standards. This article explores the search for a more sustainable alternative detergent, with Kiwa Technology at the forefront of these developments.
