Tensile Strength and Compression Testing
Our test labs offer tensile and compression tests to assess the strength of metallic and composite materials. These tests determine yield strength, tensile strength, elongation at break, and other mechanical properties, ensuring precise quality assurance.
How Does a Tensile Strength Test Work?
Bossard has several testing facilities at its disposal to determine a material’s tensile strength. For example, tensile tests with a maximum of 600 kN can be performed for bolts and nuts from M3 to M33. During this process, your sample is stretched, shock-free, until it breaks or reaches a certain limit. The force (F) and the change in length are continuously measured on the sample and recorded during the test, allowing us to determine the load at which the sample begins to permanently deform – where the yield limit lies – and the load at which the material breaks – where the breaking load lies.
The Compressive Strength Test – The Reverse of the Tensile Test
Taking the direction of force into consideration, the compression test is the reverse of the tensile test. A compressive strength test provides information about a material’s behavior under uniaxial compression.
