Mechanical testing is a critical process where materials, especially metals, are evaluated to determine their behavior under various forces. This includes testing how much a material can stretch (tensile testing), bend (bend test), and withstand compression (compression test). These tests help us understand whether the material is strong enough for its intended use, such as in the construction of bridges or vehicles, ensuring it won't break or deform under stress.

Our Mechanical Testing Services

​​

1. Tensile Testing (0.2% Proof Stress):

• Equipment Used: UTM 600 KN (FIE)

• Test Methods: IS:1608 (Part-1)-2022, ASTM E8/E8M-21

• Description: This test measures a material's resistance to tension, identifying the point of permanent deformation, known as 0.2% proof stress.

​

2. Bend Test (Root/Face/Side):

• Test Methods: IS 1599: 2019, ASTM A370: 2021

• Description: Our bend tests evaluate a material's ductility and flexibility by determining how it withstands bending without breaking.

​

3. Compression Test:

• Test Method: IS 7906 (Part-5)

• Description: We perform compression tests to evaluate a material's ability to withstand squeezing forces without buckling or fracturing.

​

4. Load Test:

• Description: This general test applies a specified load to a material to ensure it can support the load without failure.

​

5. Proof Load Test:

• Test Methods: IS 1367 (Part-3):2017, IS 1367 (Part-6):2018

• Description: The proof load test determines the maximum load a material can bear before experiencing permanent deformation.

 

6. Flattening Test:

• Test Method: IS 2328:2018

• Description: This test evaluates the material's ability to flatten without cracking, indicating good ductility.

 

7. Drift Expansion Test:

• Test Method: IS 2335:2005

• Description: We assess the expansion properties of tubes by forcing a conical drift through them.

 

8. Tensile Test for Wires:

• Test Methods: IS:1608 (Part-1)-2022, ASTM E8/E8M-21

• Description: This test specifically measures the tensile strength and elasticity of wire materials.

 

9. WPS Test (Welding Procedure Specification):

• Test Methods: ISO 4136:2012, ASME SEC IX:2021(QW-150)

• Description: Our WPS testing ensures that welding procedures meet the designated standards.

​

10. Impact Charpy Test:

• Equipment Used: Impact Testing Machine (FIE IT-30)

• Test Methods: IS 1757 (P-I) 2020, ASTM A370: 2020

• Description: The Charpy test, conducted at temperatures from room temperature to -40°C, determines the impact toughness of materials.

 

11. Hardness Testing:

​

1. Rockwell Testing:

• Equipment Used: Digital Rockwell Hardness Tester (FIE)

• Test Method: IS 1586 (Part-1)2018, ASTM E18-20

• Description: Measures hardness by assessing the depth of indentation under a major load, suitable for metals.

​

2. Brinell Testing:

• Equipment Used: Brinell Testing Machine (SAROJ B-3000)

• Test Method: IS 1500 (Part-1) 2019, ASTM E10-18

• Description: Determines hardness by pressing a hard ball into the material and measuring the indentation diameter.

 

​

 

3. Vickers Testing:

• Equipment Used: Vickers Testing Machine (FIE- VM50 PC)

• Test Method: IS 1501 (Part-1):2020, ASTM: E 92 - 2017

• Description: Uses a diamond indenter to measure hardness through the indentation’s diagonal length.

​

4. Micro Vickers Testing:

• Equipment Used: Micro Vickers Testing Machine (FIE- VM1 PC)
