A test fixture for testing a flat sample of a material is disclosed. The test fixture having a test vessel for a fluid selected to test the desired properties of the material. The test fixture having a housing with a first end, a second end, and at least one wall extending from the first end to the second end. The housing may have a cylindrical configuration, a parallelpiped configuration, or other geometries. An opening in the housing is provided for receiving the flat test sample such that the assembled housing and the sample form a pressure vessel with an interior chamber.

Apparatus and method for material testing

Alloys containing copper, iron, tin and, optionally, phosphorus or copper, zinc, tin and, optionally, phosphorus, which can be used in, for example, a copper alloy tube for heat exchangers that provides excellent fracture strength and processability for reducing the weight of the tube and for use in high pressure applications with cooling media such as carbon dioxide.
