Mechanical Testing Service

The Mechanical Testing Service looks at the characteristics and the inherent properties of a material. Testing will help determine whether the material is suitable for its intended mechanical use and how long the material may last when exposed to such uses and forces.

Tests include

• tensile strength
• elongation
• hardness
• fracture toughness
• impact resistance
• stress rupture
• fatigue limit.

These destructive and static tests can be carried out on materials including metals, polymers, plastics, composites and fabrics; therefore they are applicable to a selection of industries.

Mechanical testing may be performed for a quality assurance program, manufacturing engineering program, failure analysis or materials research and development. All testing determines the compliance of a material to applicable ASTM standards and specifications.
