Tensile TestingThe Metallurgical Engineering Services test lab offers tensile tests on all metals, polymers, composites, and fabrics. Tensile testing is the most fundamental type of mechanical testing. A tensile test applies a proof load to a specimen past the yield point to failure. Tensile test results provide many mechanical properties such as Young's modulus, yield strength, tensile strength, elongation, deformation, reduction of area, and strain hardening behavior.
Specimens may be dog bone tensile bars or a variety of other shapes. We routinely test machined coupons, fasteners, wire, cable, tubes, pipes, plates, structural beams, or bars. Our machine shop and qualified machinists will machine your raw materials to standard coupons if necessary. We utilize an extensive variety of grips and fixtures to provide the tensile setup needed to complete your test. Specifications for tests performed may be ASTM, MIL, or other standards. The experience of our engineers and a comprehensive quality control program ensure accurate, reproducible results. Temperatures for tensile tests may be reduced to -100F or elevated 1500F. Our primary mechanical testing instrumentation includes the following:
MES is capable of testing large lot sizes for manufacturing controls and we offer discounted rates for high volume testing.
