Load Testing Determinations

• Performance Load Test — Manufacturer’s recommended maximum load

• Proof Load Test — Test to 1.5x the rated working load

• Design Verification — Complete material and/or mechanical failure

 

Mechanical Load Methods

Our qualified and equipped experts monitor how test samples react to static mechanical loads.

 

Static Testing

During static testing, parts are exposed to a constant load for a specified time. This method applies tension at a uniform and slow rate.
