Kett Heidon H25 crack analyzer provides quick simple analyses of polymers for stress or forming cracks and defects H25 Polymer Stress Crack Analyzer
Provides instant, non-destructive identification of cracks and faults in transparent and translucent polymer samples.  Simply place the sample on the large test plate and view through the polarized tope window.  Cracks and stress points are
immediately identified so that production issues can be documented, and immediately resolved.  Also helps when defective parts need to be sorted and removed from a batch.

The H25 Polymer Stress Crack Analyzer is simple yet effective.  The
polarized grating may be rotated to optimize defect identification.
