We perform mechanical tests under test conditions ranging from highly elevated to sub-ambient temperatures.

Examples of tests we routinely perform on metals, plastics, composites, ceramics, tapes, and coatings include:

• Bend testing
• Bond strength
• Charpy impact
• Compression
• Creep
• Deformation
• Elongation
• Flexural strength
• Gardner impact
• Hardness (Brinell, Knoop, Rockwell, Shore, Vickers)
• Refractory testing
• Shear strength
• Stress rupture
• Stress relaxation
• Tensile strength
• Thermal expansion
• Peel testing.

» We offer superior specimen machining and preparation services.

We also offer non-contact 3DStrain load monitoring services. This optical, full-field surface strain measurement service, provides a fundamental understanding of how objects behave under applied loads. We deliver movement tracking at the pixel level via color-coded strain videos on most materials, for a range of sizes and complex geometries.

We also provide custom fixturing and test design, to create non-standard tests that more closely represent the loads a material or component would experience in service.
