At MTC, our tension and compression testing services provide critical insights into the mechanical properties of your materials. By subjecting samples to controlled stretching or compressing forces, we accurately measure key parameters such as tensile strength, yield strength, and elongation. This data is essential for understanding how your materials will behave under stress, informing design decisions, and ensuring product reliability and safety.

​

Tension Testing

Our experts apply precisely calibrated axial loads to your samples, simulating real-world tension scenarios. This process reveals the maximum force your material can withstand before breaking, as well as its ability to deform under stress. By analysing the resulting stress-strain curve, we determine yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, and other vital properties that guide material selection and engineering optimisation.

Compression Testing

We subject your materials to controlled compressive forces to assess their response to crushing or squeesing loads. This testing method is crucial for evaluating the structural integrity of components designed to withstand compression, such as columns, supports, and packaging materials. Our analysis yields valuable data on compressive strength, modulus of elasticity, and other parameters that inform product design and performance.
