Mechanical Testing

The Laboratory is well equipped to carry out tests to determine the mechanical properties of materials (rods, bars, plates, wires, etc.) The tests include

  • Tensile tests (UTS, YS, 0.2% PS, % Elongation and % RA)
  • Compression tests
  • Bend Tests
  • Customised load tests (pull out loads, push out load, breaking load, etc)
  • Hardness Tests (Rockwell (HRA, HRB, HRC), Brinell, Vickers, microVickers)
  • ImpactTest (Charpy&Izod )
  • Welder & Procedure Qualification (API Specifications,ASME& AWS codes, ASTM& EN standards)
