TENSILE TEST

These tests are performed in state-of-the art micro-processed equipment, using 3, 10 or 60 interchangeable tons, allowing for high flexibility in sizes of test specimen. The electronic extensometer (photo below) is used in order to provide higher precision in determining the drainage limit. The graph below shows the tensile from deformation of the material under test.

BEND, EXPANSION, FLATTENING TESTINGS

In this equipment bend testing is carried out, especially those used to qualify welding and welder procedures. Flattening and expansion of tubes are performed in special devices.

HARDNESS AND MICROHARDNESS TESTING

Regular, superficial and Brinell hardness tests of up to 3,000 kgf are performed in Reicherter, Wilson and WPM equipment.

In order to carry out micro hardness tests, a Bruheler electronic microhardness meter is used with loads of 10 gf to 1kgf. For Vickers microhardness, especially in temperate layers.

IMPACT TEST

Impact tests according to ASTM and DIN Standards may be performed under room temperature as low as -196 ºC. In order to do so, Labmat has two flywheels, one IGV flywheel for 300 Joules and one Losenhausenwerk flywheel for 750 Joules.
