Accurate results provide the material properties required for cutting edge composites.
Composite tensile test
Accutek understands the importance of timely and reliable results for your composite testing requirements. The innovative nature of these types of materials lends few resources (i.e. databases of material properties) to designers.
Accutek conducts various composite material tests to assist our clients in generating the needed data and material properties for your design projects.
Composite materials are generally tested using methods similar to the testing of metals and polymers. However, due to the orthotropic nature of composites, several specific test methods have been developed to address the unique properties of many composite materials. Accutek has extensive experience testing various ASTM standards for composite testing, as well as many custom testing methods. Accutek’s engineering professionals have the crucial knowledge necessary to deliver precise results for your composite testing project. Combined with our extensive composite testing experience, our state-of-the-art testing facility and numerous test machines assure your project, whether large or small, will be completed on time.
Accutek has the capability to develop customized testing plans and test equipment modified to your organization’s exact composite testing needs.
