Mechanical Testing
At BES Group, we have a strong foundation in providing mechanical testing services.
Mechanical testing plays a crucial role in assessing the suitability of materials for their intended applications, ensuring quality control, and aiding research and development efforts. By measuring properties like Young’s Modulus, tensile strength, yield strength, elongation, reduction in area, hardness, and impact resistance, we can predict how materials will respond to different types of forces.

Quality Control
Mechanical testing can help you understand the strength, hardness, and ductility of your material, giving you confidence in the quality and compliance of your product.
Product Development
In the research and development phase, mechanical testing aids in the evaluation of new materials or modifications to existing materials. It helps in optimizing designs and ensuring that products meet performance expectations.
Cost Reduction
Carrying out routine mechanical testing will help to identify flaws and defects in materials during early development processes, which can help to prevent costly failures and product recalls.
Material Selection
Mechanical testing can help to compare the performance and properties of different materials, so that you can choose the most suitable material for product development.

Mechanical Testing FAQs
What is mechanical testing?
+
Mechanical testing involves evaluating the mechanical properties of materials, such as strength, hardness, ductility, toughness, and elasticity, through various testing methods. It helps assess how materials respond to applied forces and loads.
Why is mechanical testing important?
+
Mechanical testing is crucial for ensuring the quality, reliability, and safety of materials and products. It helps in material selection, design optimisation, quality control, and compliance with industry standards.
What are some common mechanical testing methods?
+
Common mechanical testing methods include tensile testing, hardness testing, impact testing, fatigue testing, and bending tests. Each method assesses specific mechanical properties of materials.
How is mechanical testing carried out?
+
Mechanical testing is usually carried out using specialised equipment such as universal testing machines, hardness testers, impact testers, and fatigue testing machines.
Samples are prepared according to specific standards, and then subjected to controlled conditions to measure their mechanical properties accurately.
How is mechanical testing used in material selection?
+
Mechanical testing provides data on a material’s properties and how they behave under certain conditions.
This information helps engineers and designers select materials based on factors such as strength, ductility, hardness, and other mechanical characteristics.
How is mechanical testing used in quality control?
+
Mechanical testing is an integral part of quality control processes to ensure that materials and products meet specified standards. It helps identify defects, variations, or inconsistencies in material properties.
Can mechanical testing predict the performance of a product in real-world conditions?
+
Yes, mechanical testing provides valuable data that can be used to predict how materials and products will perform under various loads, stresses, and environmental conditions.
