Applied Technical Services conducts load performance testing to determine the load carrying capabilities of components, equipment, parts, and structures. Our tests provide insight into the safety and reliability of materials in various applications, assisting with the oversight of production and quality control of materials.
What is Mechanical Load Testing?
Mechanical load testing evaluates a component, material, or structure’s ability to perform specific tasks at specific loads. During testing, technicians apply static and dynamic forces to the sample to observe its properties. There are several types of mechanical load testing, including:.
- Cyclic Testing
- Dynamic Testing
- Static Testing
Applied Technical Services’ Load Performance Testing Services
Our load performance tests expose samples to static, dynamic, and cyclic testing to evaluate a material’s ability to perform specific tasks. We conduct cyclic, dynamic, and static tests to help manufacturers determine the following.
- Failure Load — The load value that initiates complete material or mechanical failure
- Safe Working Load — The maximum load value a material can lift or suspend without breaking
- Yield Load — The load value in which a material begins to display signs of degradation and stress
We off several types of mechanical load testing, including:
- Bending Tests
- Bond Strength Tests
- Compression Tests
- Fatigue Tests
- Fracture Toughness Tests
- Impact Tests
- Shear Tests
- Tensile Tests
Our load testing services benefit manufacturers in several sectors, including construction, oil, gas, and manufacturing.
