BQCIS

Evaluating Strength and Deformation Properties

Tensile and compression testing are fundamental mechanical tests used to determine how materials behave under stretching or compressive loads. These tests are essential for establishing the yield strength, modulus of elasticity, elongation, and failure characteristics of structural materials.

At BQCIS, we use advanced universal testing machines equipped with extensometers, load cells, and temperature-controlled environments to simulate service conditions accurately. Our testing ensures compliance with international standards including ASTM E8/E9, ISO 6892, and EN 10002.

Results from these tests enable clients in aerospace, construction, automotive, and energy sectors to validate material performance, compare production batches, and guarantee conformity to engineering design specifications.

Key Activities in Tensile & Compression Testing

Tensile Strength Measurement

Determination of yield and ultimate tensile strength under controlled loading rates.

Compression Resistance Testing

Assessment of material stability and deformation under compressive forces.

Elongation & Ductility Analysis

Measurement of material plasticity and post-yield deformation capability.

Stress-Strain Curve Generation

Real-time load-extension and stress-strain curve plotting for performance assessment.

Proof Load Testing

Verification that fasteners, bolts, and structural components can withstand operational loads.

Temperature-Conditioned Testing

Simulation of environmental conditions (elevated or cryogenic) to assess thermal influence on strength.

Specimen Preparation & Machining

Precision sample cutting, polishing, and machining to meet geometric tolerances and standards.

Success Story

Tensile Verification for Offshore Structural Steels

The Challenge:

An offshore EPC contractor required validation of steel plate mechanical strength to meet DNV and API design codes.

Our Solution:

BQCIS conducted tensile and compression tests on multiple plate samples under controlled conditions, integrating extensometer-based strain measurement and temperature conditioning.

The Result:

All samples achieved yield and tensile values above specified minimums, enabling immediate project certification and fabrication release.
