Tensile Testing
Tensile testing is a crucial method for evaluating the mechanical properties of materials. It provides valuable insights into their strength, ductility, and performance under tension.
During a tensile test, a controlled pulling force is applied to a standardized specimen until it breaks. This allows us to measure various parameters such as:
- Yield Strength
- Ultimate Tensile Strength (UTS)
- Elongation
- Youngs Modulus
We can test samples for tensile testing at ambient temperature, with forces from 2kN up to 600kN. We carry out tensile testing to the following standards:
- BS EN ISO 6892-1 Methods A & B
- ASTM E8/8M
- ASTM A370
- BS EN 2002-1
Elevated Temperature Tensile Testing
Our elevated temperature tensile testing services aim to evaluate the mechanical behaviour of materials when exposed to high temperatures. By simulating high-temperature environments, we can assess properties like creep resistance, thermal expansion, and strength retention.
This information is crucial for industries such as aerospace, automotive, power generation, and manufacturing processes that involve high-temperature environments. With our testing, engineers can make informed decisions about material selection and design to ensure the safety, reliability, and performance of components and structures in real-world applications.
We can test samples for elevated temperature tensile testing from ambient up to 600°C, with forces from 2kN up to 100kN. We carry out elevated temperature tensile testing to BS EN ISO 6892-2 Method A ASTM E21.
