Mechanical Testing
Laboratory Testing Inc. performs many services to evaluate mechanical properties such as material strength and durability. LTI is PRI/Nadcap accredited to ISO/IEC 17025 and our quality system complies with ISO 9001 and ISO 13485.
Most mechanical testing is performed on metal samples and specimens. Test specimens can be prepared in our Machine Shop on our CNC lathe, milling and grinding machines. We have the capabilities to prepare a wide-range of specimens including Jominy, Flat Tensile, Round Tensile, Flat Fatigue, Izod Impact, Dynamic Tear, Stress Rupture, Stress Corrosion, Gleeble, Charpy V-Notch Impact, Rotating Beam & Low Cycle Fatigue, Compact Tension, Fracture Toughness, Round Compression, Hydrogen Embrittlement, Face, Root, & Side Bend, Rotating Beam & Low Cycle Fatigue.
