Large Fastener Testing

We are able to offer a range of routine tensile testing for samples including fixings and fasteners, bolts and nuts ranging in size.

We are proud to have a design team* who collaborate with the in-house lab to design and build brackets to accommodate your sample if necessary.

With a clearance for 750mm between the front columns, the largest machine in our laboratory* allows us to offer tests for extremely large assemblies and samples. Should you have a specific component that requires bespoke fixtures, please call our team.

Wide Range of Testing Capabilities

We are able to offer a range of tests, including:

Fasteners testing, which is imperative for companies needing to know the maximal strain of a sample before failing, whether that be screw, nut or bolt.
Proof load tests, which are for companies wanting to understand the heaviest load the sample can lift before failing.
Wedge testing – which is specifically designed to understand how much stress a square head or hex head fastener can bear.
