Tensile Testing
VARCHU MARC LLP Tensile Testing Laboratories perform a test in which controlled tension is applied to a sample material until it fully fails, in order to analyze material strength. Tensile testing is a form of mechanical testing, and provides valuable data about candidate materials, including ultimate tensile strength, yield strength, elongation, and reduction in area. Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio are discovered through tensile testing.
Tensile testing can be performed on the following materials:
- Metals
- Polymers
- Coatings
- Fiber- Reinforced Composites
For materials being utilized in extreme temperature environments, a full array of cryogenic and high-temperature testing applications are required. Accurate non-ambient testing data is determined with our regularly calibrated equipment.
Our mechanical testing lab also has the support of our experienced machine shop. These machinists have decades of experience working with materials in all forms and can efficiently machine samples from bar stock, sheets, forgings, finished products, and nonmetallic materials.
