Mechanical Testing Capabilities

A steel tensile test is a mechanical test used to evaluate the strength and ductility of steel under tension.
Up to 1000KN(100 tons) Ultimate Tensile Strength(UTS) / Yield Strength / Proof Stress / Elongation / Reduction of Area (ROA).

The Charpy impact test is a crucial method used to measure the toughness and impact resistance of materials, particularly metals. It’s commonly employed in material science and engineering to assess how a material behaves under sudden impact.
From Ambient temperature to 196°C
ASTM and European Specifications.

Hardness testing measures a material’s resistance to deformation, particularly from scratching, indentation, or penetration. When testing steel, various methods can be used depending on the type of steel and the desired results. It can also be used for UTS estimation, surface hardening check, hardening depth check and weld traverses.
Vickers / Brinell / Rockwell / Micro Vickers / Knoop

The Izod impact test is a mechanical test used to evaluate a material’s toughness and its ability to withstand sudden impact forces. It’s similar to the Charpy test but has some differences in the testing setup. Test piece is cylindrical in shape and tests are at room temperature.

Proof load testing is a type of mechanical testing used to ensure that a structure or component can safely handle its intended load without failure. It’s commonly performed on critical equipment, structural components, and lifting devices.

Bend testing is a mechanical test used to evaluate a material’s ductility, strength, and resistance to cracking or fracture when subjected to bending forces. It is commonly performed on metals, plastics, composites, and other materials.

Full-size tensile testing is a method of evaluating the mechanical properties of materials, often metals or alloys, using a sample that matches the actual dimensions of the material as it is used in real-world applications.

Wedge load testing is a specialised test used to evaluate the structural integrity and load-bearing capacity of fasteners, such as bolts or studs, under tensile stress. It ensures that the fasteners can handle specific loads without failure.

Shear testing is a method used to evaluate a material’s behaviour when subjected to forces that act parallel to its surface, causing layers of the material to slide against each other. It provides insights into a material’s shear strength, which is its ability to resist these forces before failing. 

Compression testing is a method used to determine a material’s behaviour under compressive forces, where the material is subjected to being squeezed or compacted. This test is essential for understanding the strength, deformation, and stability of materials under compression.
