Home >> Services > Mechanical Testing

We are proud to provide a comprehensive range of mechanical testing services to meet the diverse needs of our clients. Our capabilities include tensile testing on both round and flat specimens, precise hardness testing, Charpy V-notch impact testing, and bend testing. To ensure the highest level of convenience and efficiency, we can machine your specimens on-site, allowing for seamless preparation and testing. With our streamlined processes and experienced team, we are able to offer fast turnaround times without compromising on accuracy or quality, helping you keep your projects on schedule.

Tensile Testing

Tensile testing determines a material's mechanical properties, such as its strength, ductility, and elasticity, by measuring its response to a uniaxial tensile force until failure.

Our capabilities include:

  • 120,000 lb capacity

  • Round and flat specimens

  • Tension, compression, and lap shear testing

  • Bolt tension testing

  • Proof load testing

We test to the following test standards, or customer specified requirements:

  • ASTM A370

  • ASTM A48/A48M

  • ASTM B557

  • ASTM E8/E8M

  • ASTM E517

  • ASTM F606/F606M

  • ASTM E646

  • SAE J429, J995

  • ASTM D1002

Hardness Testing

Hardness testing measures a material's resistance to localized plastic deformation, providing insights into its strength, wear resistance, and potential performance in various applications.

Our capabilities include:

  • Rockwell hardness

  • Rockwell Superficial hardness

  • Brinell hardness

  • Vickers microhardness

  • Knoop microhardness

We test to the following test standards, or customer specified requirements:

  • ASTM E18

  • ASTM E110

  • ASTM B578

  • ASTM E384

  • ASTM E92

  • NACE MR0175/ISO 15156

  • SAE ARP 1820, J417

  • SAE J417

Charpy Impact Testing

The Charpy V-notch test measures a material's toughness and ability to absorb energy during impact, providing insights into its behavior under sudden loading and susceptibility to brittle fracture.

Our capabilities include:

  • +80 deg F to -320 deg F

  • Standard of sub-sized specimens

We test to the following test standards, or customer specified requirements:

  • ASTM A370

  • ASTM E23

Bend Testing

Bend testing evaluates a material's ductility, flexibility, and resistance to cracking or fracturing by bending it over a specified radius, often used to assess weld integrity or material quality.

Our capabilities include:

  • Material and Weld bend testing

  • Guided bend testing

  • Customizable test parameters

We test to the following test standards, or customer specified requirements:

  • ASTM A370

  • ASTM E190

  • ASTM E290

Our in-house machine shop allows us to prepare a wide variety of tensile specimens including round, rectangular, standard and sub-size from most metals, hardness specimens, and Charpy V-notch impact specimens.

  • All testing equipment is calibrated to ISO standards and verified on a regular basis.

  • All tests are performed in accordance with current industry standards and specifications, or to your specifications.

  • All specimen preparation and testing is performed by trained and experienced personnel.
