What is Tensile Testing?
Our 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.
At BES Group, we offer comprehensive Tensile Testing services to meet your material characterisation needs and help you understand more about the performance of your materials. Our tests provide valuable information that can help verify quality standards and ensure quality assurance. By determining the material’s exact tensile strength, we can help prevent potential product failures in the future.

Key benefits of Tensile Testing
Quality assurance
Tensile testing is vital for ensuring the quality and consistency of materials used in manufacturing processes. By establishing material properties, manufacturers can verify compliance with industry standards and specifications.
Material selection
Engineers rely on Tensile Testing data to select appropriate materials for specific applications. Understanding a material’s strength and ductility allows for informed decisions regarding its suitability for a particular environment or load condition.
Product design and optimisation
Tensile testing data serves as a crucial input for product design and optimization. By knowing the mechanical behaviour of materials, engineers can design products that meet performance requirements while minimizing the risk of failure.
Research and development
Tensile Testing plays a significant role in materials research and development, enabling scientists and engineers to explore new materials, assess their properties, and innovate in various fields.

How we'll work with you
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.
Data from Tensile Testing 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. During a tensile test, a controlled pulling force is applied to a standardized specimen until it breaks.
