MECHANICAL TESTING
TEC Eurolab
A department dedicated to the mechanical characterization of materials
Check the static mechanical performance of your materials both at low and high temperatures, as well as room temperature
We ensure transversality in the physical-mechanical characterization of materials used in the mechanical industry.
Making use of a dedicated machining division, the department is able to handle material characterization entirely, from specimen sampling to test execution.
Through the use of universal frames for static tensile, compression, bending, and shear tests, pendulums for impact tests, and frames for creep tests, the department is able to provide all the information for engineering in order to optimize the use of materials in the main fields of mechanics, from Aerospace to Automotive, from Oil&Gas to classical manufacturing.

FAQ – MECHANICAL TESTING
Faq
What are the standard dimensions of a resilience specimen?
When the geometry of the part allows it, usually a standard specimen of 10 mm by 10 mm by 55 mm in length is made. When not enough material is available, usually standard specimens are smaller.
How does the notching stage of resilience specimens take place?
The stage of specimen notching is called broaching and is done using a tool called broach. The broach defines the geometry of the notch, which can be a V-shaped type with a notch 2 mm deep, or a U-shaped type with a notch 5 mm deep.
What are the mechanical properties that characterize plastics?
Depending on the type of plastic material, different types of tests may be essential, which are carried out within the “Mechanical Testing” department, such as tensile test, bending test, Charpy or Izod impact resistance, and Shore hardness.
