Tensile testing services
Tensile testing with loads up to 8000kN
Tensile testing
To perform (non-) standardized static and dynamic (fatigue) tests on (full-scale) components, our machines with capacities up to 8000kN are adjustable with custom specimen grip fixtures. If required, customer specific grips can be designed and manufactured at Soete laboratory.
Tension-compression tests can be used in various types of standardized and non-standardized test: tensile/compression tests to determine the stress-strain response of a material or component, slip tests of connections, fatigue test to perform lifetime assessment and/or define a s-n curve…
- Servo-hydraulic controlled setup
- Custom programmable waveforms: sinusoidal, triangular, square…
- Quasi-static load capacity up to 8000kN (tensile) and 4000kN (compression)
