METS Lab is equipped to provide comprehensive mechanical property evaluation of metallic materials. Our core service involves uniaxial tensile testing, conducted according to industry standards, to accurately identify key parameters like yield point and elongation. From this, we derive essential material properties: Yield Strength, Tensile Strength, % Elongation, and Reduction of Area. Leveraging a Computerized Universal Testing Machine, we analyze a wide range of ferrous and nonferrous metals. The resulting data enables accurate prediction of material response in service. Our specific tensile testing capabilities encompass proof strength analysis for bolts, full-scale specimen testing, and assessments at ambient and high temperatures for various forms, including plates, pipes, tubes, and welded constructions.
