Tension and Compression Testing Service

Tension and Compression Testing are fundamental methods employed to evaluate the mechanical properties of materials, particularly their response to applied forces. These tests are essential in determining the structural integrity and performance of materials under various loading conditions.

What is Tension and Compression Testing?

From a scientific perspective, tension and compression testing principles are based on studying how materials respond to stress. Tensile testing involves applying force to a material until it breaks, revealing insights into its strength, elongation, and elasticity modulus. This analysis is vital for predicting material behavior under tension, whether in regular usage or challenging environments.

On the other hand, compression testing involves exerting pressure on a material to assess its compressive strength and deformation properties. This is especially critical for materials expected to support weight or endure compression, like construction or packaging materials.
