Mechanical Testing

Mechanical testing services measure the strength, hardness and ductility of materials under various temperature, tension, compression or load conditions. Mechanical testing provides information about the suitability of a material for its intended application to help companies design products that will perform as expected.

Mechanical Testing Services – MTS India

At MTS India, we offer comprehensive Mechanical Testing services designed to evaluate the strength, durability, and performance of materials under different conditions. From product development to failure analysis, Mechanical Testing helps manufacturers, engineers, and quality assurance teams determine if a material or component is suitable for its intended application.

Our fully equipped mechanical testing laboratory provides accurate, standards-based testing services for a wide range of materials, including metals, alloys, plastics, composites, and polymers. Whether you’re validating raw materials or finished products, our testing solutions deliver the critical data you need for product confidence and compliance.

 

What is Mechanical Testing?

Mechanical Testing refers to a group of laboratory techniques used to assess the physical properties of materials when subjected to mechanical forces such as tension, compression, bending, impact, and fatigue. These tests reveal a material’s mechanical behavior and help predict its real-world performance under static or dynamic loads.

Key mechanical properties measured include:

  • Tensile strength

  • Yield strength

  • Elongation

  • Hardness

  • Ductility

  • Impact resistance

  • Fatigue life

  • Fracture toughness

At MTS India, we perform these tests under controlled environments to provide precise, repeatable, and meaningful results aligned with national and international standards (ASTM, ISO, IS).

 

Our Mechanical Testing Capabilities

MTS India is equipped to perform a wide range of Mechanical Testing services for quality control, R&D, material certification, and failure analysis:

✅ Tensile Testing

Measures a material’s ability to resist pulling forces. We determine key parameters such as ultimate tensile strength, yield strength, and elongation under load.

✅ Compression Testing

Assesses a material’s behavior under crushing loads. Particularly useful for evaluating ceramics, plastics, and structural components.

✅ Bend Testing

Evaluates ductility and the ability of a material or weld to withstand deformation without cracking. Common in weld qualification and structural materials testing.

✅ Impact Testing (Charpy & Izod)

Measures a material’s toughness or ability to absorb energy during sudden shocks. Useful for brittle materials and assessing low-temperature performance.

✅ Hardness Testing

We offer Brinell, Rockwell, and Vickers hardness testing to determine resistance to indentation. This test is vital for wear-resistance and quality control assessments.

✅ Fatigue Testing

Assesses how a material behaves under repeated or cyclic loading. This is essential for components subjected to fluctuating stresses like springs, axles, and machine parts.

✅ Creep and Stress Rupture Testing

Determines how materials behave under prolonged exposure to high stress and temperature, ideal for aerospace, power generation, and thermal environments.

 

Importance of Mechanical Testing

Mechanical Testing is crucial for understanding how materials and components will perform under real-world mechanical forces. It supports:

  • Material selection for design and development

  • Quality assurance and process control

  • Failure analysis and root cause investigation

  • Weld and joint validation

  • Component performance and life prediction

  • Compliance with customer and industry specifications

At MTS India, our mechanical testing services help prevent failures, optimize designs, and ensure safety and performance from raw material to final product.
