Accutek’s certified static testing services offer timely results at an affordable price.
As one of the most basic tests in materials science, a tensile test (or tension test) is also one of the most important tests in the field. Accutek’s accredited lab offers tensile testing services from mere ounces to 60,000+ lbs to assist your team in identifying the right material for an application, ensure quality control, or predict material performance under other types of forces. Test specimens are subjected to uniaxial tension until failure on Accutek’s calibrated testing machines.
From specimen machining, and specialized fixture design and fabrication, to the actual testing and reporting, our skilled technicians have the knowledge and experience to handle your tensile testing project from start to finish. Our facility is equipped with all the necessary equipment to carry out your tensile test, including Accutek’s in-house machine shop for quick, on-site specimen machining and fixturing fabrication, if needed.
