The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies (ATS FoC) provides data center tensile testing services to help ensure critical materials have the mechanical properties needed to support the tensile loads expected in their applications.
Why is Tensile Testing Important for Data Centers?
A tensile test is a mechanical test used to determine how a material behaves under tension. Within the rigorous material selection process for modern data center infrastructure, this destructive testing method provides design engineers, architects, and construction teams with important, empirical data regarding the following:
- Yield strength
- Ultimate tensile strength
- Material ductility
Data centers house heavy IT hardware, which is housed in or on specialized structures and platforms, including structural steel columns, server racks, and overhead cable trays. Tensile tests help determine whether components have the structural strength to withstand significant weight for prolonged periods.
About Our Data Center Tensile Testing Services
Our state-of-the-art, ISO/IEC 17025-accredited testing laboratory offers comprehensive tensile testing services that meet the high-stakes demands of data center development and construction. Our experienced technicians use advanced universal testing systems and high-precision extensometers to evaluate the mechanical properties of metals, polymers, and composites. We offer various types of tensile tests, including:
- Dynamic
- High temperature
- Micro
- Uniaxial
Our services test materials in compliance with numerous standards, including, but not limited to, ASTM and ISO standards.
Our Commitment to Service Excellence
Since our founding in 1967, Applied Technical Services has been synonymous with customer service excellence. Over the decades, as our clients’ needs have expanded, so have we by continuously investing in our technicians, training, and testing technology and infrastructure. In January of 2026, SGS, a global TIC industry leader, acquired ATS, giving us access to a more diverse range of information and resources. We will continue to keep our clients first as we help them create and maintain safe and reliable products and services.
