The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies (ATS FoC) provides high-speed tensile testing services that assess material behavior under rapid loading. This testing measures how materials respond to forces applied over short periods, delivering critical data on strength, ductility, deformation, and failure at elevated strain rates. Technicians and companies use these results to evaluate materials and components for impact, crash, blast, ballistic, and other dynamic applications. Our team applies precise testing procedures and advanced instrumentation to ensure reliable data for material qualification, research, product development, and failure analysis.
How Does High Speed Tensile Testing Differ From Conventional Tensile Testing?
Conventional tensile testing applies load at a slower, controlled rate. In contrast, high speed tensile testing exposes specimens to much higher strain rates. Materials often behave differently under rapid loading, so conventional results may not reflect performance during dynamic events. High speed testing provides critical insight into the following:
- Tensile strength at elevated strain rates
- Yield behavior and deformation
- Elongation and failure characteristics
We select testing configurations and instrumentation based on specimen geometry, material type, strain rate, and project goals. This ensures engineers receive data that closely reflects real service conditions.
