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
Key Benefits of Tensile & Compression Testing
Verified Mechanical Strength
Provides definitive yield, tensile, and compressive strength data for design validation.
Design Optimization
Supports engineers in refining designs and material selection for optimal performance-to-weight ratio.
Reliable Quality Control
Detects manufacturing inconsistencies and ensures uniform material quality across production lots.
Regulatory Compliance
Meets international testing requirements under ASTM, ISO, EN, and sector-specific specifications.
Success Story
Tensile Verification for Offshore Structural Steels
An offshore EPC contractor required validation of steel plate mechanical strength to meet DNV and API design codes.
BQCIS conducted tensile and compression tests on multiple plate samples under controlled conditions, integrating extensometer-based strain measurement and temperature conditioning.
All samples achieved yield and tensile values above specified minimums, enabling immediate project certification and fabrication release.
