What is Strength Testing?
To find out the load required to break material.
Tension, compression or bending testing, supplies information such as ductility, the yield strength and ultimate tensile strength. From this we are able to tell you whether the material is likely to crack when a load is applied, or if it will deflect or change shape at a lower load than the failure load.
How Can This Help You
As a fabricator or manufacturer, you need to check that the material that you have orderd has the correct strength. Sometimes it is also necesssary to test the strength of a weld. We are able to conduct this test for you with guaranteed results.
The One Eighty Engineering Solution.
A client asked us to find out why some bolts failed prematurely. The bolt manufacturer was concerned that the material did not compy with specification, because the material may not have been given the right heat treatment.
Samples were machined from the bolt material to ASTM standards and tested in a tensile tester. Our tests showed that the material was compliant with specification, absolving the manufacturer from the responsibility of the failure.
