The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies (FoC) offers stress rupture testing services that evaluate the mechanical behavior of materials.
What is a Stress Rupture Test?
Stress rupture tests measure the amount of time it takes for a material to rupture once it’s exposed to a constant load at a constant temperature. Stress rupture tests have proven to be an effective way for manufacturers to determine a material’s strength, which is important when optimizing material selection and quality assurance processes.

The Importance of Stress Rupture Testing
Stress rupture tests effectively evaluate the longtime viability of materials whose applications require that they endure constant loads at elevated temperatures. The data collected from a stress rupture test is an effective way to accurately determine a material’s resistance to creep. Stress rupture tests are commonly used to aid in the design and material selection of products and components and materials used to make the following:
- Gas turbines
- Turbine blades
- Engine components
- Boilers
Failure to conduct comprehensive stress rupture tests on a material could result in the following:
- Premature product failures
- Product recalls
- Safety hazards
- Noncompliance issues
- Fines and legal penalties
