Dies Engineered for Precision

Pioneer-Dietecs manufactures specimen dies with multi-axis traveling-wire electrical discharge machines (EDM). All Pioneer dies are EDM'd inside and out for uniform, controlled bevels to enhance sharpness and minimize cut-part distortion. Each die is certified to ASTM, JIS, DIN or ISO standards. Custom dies to proprietary specifications are also available.

Every Pioneer-Dietecs specimen die comes in its own deluxe wood storage case along with a certificate of compliance, maintenance log and archiving. When a die requires maintenance it can be returned to Pioneer-Dietecs for reconditioning, sharpening, re-certification and archiving of the maintenance log for an ISO paper trail.

Some of the most common ASTM specimen dies used for physical testing include English (US Standard) & Metric:

• ASTM D 412 Rubber Tensile Dies A, B, C, D, E and F (sometimes referred to as “dumbbell” dies or “dogbone” dies)
  
• ASTM D 624 Rubber Tear Dies A, B (with or without nick cut) and Die C
  
• ASTM D 638 Plastics Tensile Dies I, II, III, IV and V
