Materials testing ensures quality by subjecting materials and products to controlled conditions to evaluate properties and behavior under stress. Learn how mechanical, physical, and chemical properties are evaluated to determine suitability for different applications.

Two basic types of tensile test are broadly relevant; is the test specimen strong enough to resist breakage, or is it easy to use safely and efficiently?

The tensile testing processes remain constant and with a good understanding of your organization’s relevant quality assurance requirements, dealing with evolving external factors can be relieved.

Today there are over 3,500 different grades of steel. In fact, steel is one of the world’s most innovative and essential materials for manufacturing, building and construction. 

Products and packaging undergo continual revision and improvement, with most companies constantly striving to use less material, simplify their manufacturing processes, and make their products more user friendly.

Each application within the automotive manufacturing process requires a unique set of testing requirements.

Why conduct these tests? There are many reasons to perform materials tests. Data from testing can be used by engineers, scientists, designers, and managers. 

All health care-related fields are growing, and the same is true for applications that test medical instruments and materials.

Tensile testing is arguably the most common test method used in both force measurement and material testing. Tensile testing is used primarily to determine the mechanical behavior of a component, part or material under static, axial loading.

Regular tensile testing is important for checking rigid plastics through the entire manufacturing cycle, from the raw material to the forming process and ultimately the production part.
