Applied Technical Services conducts Polymer Fatigue Testing, as well as several other types of fatigue testing, in our state-of-the-art mechanical testing facilities. ATS provides additional polymer testing services as well, including polymer characterization, polymer material testing, polymer strength testing, polymer fracture analysis, and polymer structure analysis.
Polymer Testing and Analysis
Due to the unique molecular structure and flexibility characteristics of polymers and polymer-based materials, Polymer Fatigue Testing is essential to verifying the resilience and fatigue-resistance of products with polymer components. There are several types of fatigue testing that incorporate the use of different testing methods to analyze a polymer’s strength and characteristics. Testing the structural strength of a polymer allows manufacturers to identify expected product life cycle, make quality improvements and adjustments, and verify industry compliance with testing standards.
Fatigue Testing at Applied Technical Services
ATS features a state-of-the-art mechanical testing laboratory that is equipped with advanced fatigue and tensile testing technologies. Fatigue testing is performed by applying cyclic loads to a test subject to simulate its standard functions and operating environment. The subsequent data from these tests is then analyzed to identify different traits and characteristics of the test subject. Our certified engineers and mechanical testing experts are able to help design tests and fabricate the necessary fixtures to adhere to our clients’ custom parameters for fatigue and tensile testing. We also conduct fatigue testing in accordance with the following standards set by the American Society for Testing and Materials:
- ASTM 1820
- ASTM E606
- ASTM E1290
- ASTM E399
- ASTM E466
In addition to fatigue testing, Applied Technical Services offers a wide range of fatigue testing and fatigue testing-related services, including but not limited to:
- Fracture Toughness
- CTOD
- High Temperature Tensile
