Mechanical Testing Laboratory

The Mechanical testing laboratory at Powertech Labs boasts a large variety of testing and analytical capabilities. These include, but are not limited to: high capacity tensile and compression testing, high cycle fatigue testing, vibration testing, materials analysis, hydrogen embrittlement, environment-controlled mechanical testing (temperature and humidity control of most tests), and much more. Tests can be conducted in accordance with ANSI, ASTM, ISO, NACE, IEC, CEA, MIL, CSA, or to any standard. As Powertech is experienced with making adaptations for custom projects, specialized requests such as non-standard tests or setups are welcomed.

• NEW Unholtz-Dickie R16C-3 vibration table
• Ling Dynamics vibration table
• B&K small scale vibration table
• Tinius Olsen tension/compression load frame
• Instron servohydraulic fatigue test frame
• Sintech tension/compression load frame
