Mechanical Testing

Mechanical testing is an essential part of any manufacturing and design process. From characterizing the properties to providing validation for final products, mechanical testing plays an important role in ensuring safety and contributing to cost-effective designs. Mechanical testing is performed to identify the mechanical and physical properties of materials and also to determine suitability of materials for their intended applications.

Mechanical testing is a safety analysis testing that reveals the properties of a material under dynamic or static force and involves evaluation of a product’s shape and design as well as testing of critical components that are used in a final product. Mechanical testing also evaluates the conditions under which a mechanical failure could pose a potential risk to users. Material hardness, toughness, fatigue, ductility, impact resistance, compression strength, etc., are determined through different types of mechanical testing methods.

WHY IS MECHANICAL TESTING IMPORTANT?

Mechanical testing is a mandatory requirement for manufactures, importers and retailers. If companies deem this testing unnecessary and decide to reduce time and budget spent on this, it could cost them heavily as unforeseen failures after parts are already in service are much more burdensome.

• Avoid legal and financial consequences: Abiding by the safety requirements established by government agencies ensures smooth operation of your business.
• Ensuring safety: Protecting users from the consequence of mechanical failures is of utmost importance as such incidents may be disastrous and sometimes fatal.
• Brand reputation: Manufacturing of defective goods may lead to legal prosecution, casualties, brand devaluation and loss of license and securing the reputation of a brand is crucial in a competitive market.
• Assured access and superiority: Having access to global markets helps the companies to stay on top of the game.

Services provided

We offer a wide range of mechanical testing services depending on the product application and target audience. A few of them are:

• Mechanical safety tests: These tests are conducted to evaluate the overall design of the product and to determine whether the shape of the design could result in user injury. The tests also assist in determining if a product can potentially entangle or entrap body parts during its anticipated use.
• Structural tests: These tests are carried out primarily to assess a product’s overall strength, durability and characteristics. Depending on the type of product being evaluated, a variety of tests are conducted such as load-bearing capacity, impact and tensile testing, fatigue testing, air and water tightness, slip resistance, etc.
• Component tests: Testing of critical components, which hold the product together, such as nuts, bolts, screws, hinges, etc., ensures product safety.

In addition, we extend support in complying with the latest regulatory advancements in different jurisdictions. The services provided can be customized as per the testing needs of the clients. Product conformance at every stage of manufacturing and product lifecycle is ensured by our team of expert engineers.
