Mechanical Testing
Which Mechanical Testing to Go with?
Our global workshops deliver a comprehensive range of mechanical examination services for both metallic and non-metallic substances, alongside various components and unique items. Regardless of whether the testing adheres to a standard method or necessitates the creation of a tailored approach, the specialists at Global Laboratories ensure prompt, dependable, and precise outcomes for your initiatives.
Mechanical testing encompasses various techniques designed to assess the mechanical characteristics of materials when subjected to various types of loads. This involves imposing specific mechanical stresses or forces on a material and then observing and quantifying its deformation, strain, or stress responses.

Mechanical Properties
Mechanical Properties
We utilise cutting-edge testing facilities to determine a material's ultimate strength in tensile, compression, shear, as well as bending, torsion, and buckling. Using this data, we proficiently calculate various material properties, including Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio, yield strength, elongation, and strain-hardening traits. The environmental temperature in the majority of tests ranges from -269°C to 1000°C.
High-temperature tensile testing from 40 GBP per test
