Mechanical testing

 

List of services

Contact: Harald Fredriksson

The section for mechanical testing has machines for tensile testing,
bend testing, compression testing, impact testing, ring testing and
hardness testing.

The testing is performed in both weld metal and base metal,
according to national and international standards.

The testing is performed in a controlled environment.

Mechanical testing of materials or products is an important tool
regarding delivery control and to ensure high quality. The results from
mechanical testing are used in order to assess if the requirements
of the material is fulfilled. These requirements can be found in
applicable product standards.

The results obtained from the mechanical testing show tensile strength,
ability of plastic deformation, impact strength, ductility and hardness.

All testing performed in the laboratory is accredited.

In the workshop we can manufacture fixtures/rigs for testing of products
and other applications so that the testing can be performed like it should
be in "real life".

The mechanical testing is an important part of the approval of welding
procedures and welders qualification tests. Mechanical testing is
also important in breakdown and damage investigations.

All preparation and manufacturing of specimen is made in
our own workshop.
