We provide testing services by using our state-of-the-art testing capabilities coupled with experienced professionals in the field. 
We can apply a wide range of thermo-mechanical and structural testing standards and requirements with its diverse test set-up and high-end equipment. 
We can make high quality, accredited measurements using well-known equipment in the field for their precision and accuracy.

We have the following capabilities:

  • Dynamic and static testing equipment which are recognized for their correctness and performance. 

  • Quasi-static and dynamic tests between 0.2 N and 250 kN range can be performed with high accuracy and precision using a variety of extensometers and strain gauges. 

  • The tests can be performed at room temperatures and, if desired, at temperatures between -150 ° C and +500 ° C.

  • Non-contact measurement technologies such as high-resolution Digital Image Correlation (DIC), thermography, acoustic emission and Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) based sensors. 

  • High-speed data acquisition, processing and recording systems are utilized during the characterization of composite, plastic and metallic material properties.

  • Drop Tower and Pendulum Impact devices are utilized to perform weight drop or acceleration tests, impact tests on notched or non-notched materials.

  • Tests for the ageing and moisture retention capabilities of the materials can be carried out in a highly efficient environment at temperatures between -72 oC and +180 oC, reaching humidity levels between 10% and 98% through the conditioning chamber.

OUTPUTS

  • The mechanical properties of all kinds of materials are characterized and reported per national and international standards, 

  • Accredited testing services and reports are provided, all total quality requirements are met and documented. 

  • When necessary, new testing techniques for innovative materials are developed and the mechanical behaviour of the materials are characterized. 

  • Technical Data Sheets (TDS), Metallic and non-Metallic Materials Properties Development and Standardization (MMPDS) data, Design Allowables (DA), Fatigue and Damage Tolerance (F&DT) characteristics are provided. 

  • Characterized material data is provided in accordance with the appropriate input formats to be used in various computational mechanics and simulation software.

TARGET SECTORS

We aim to serve all leading sectors especially aviation, defense, medical, automotive, energy, transportation and advanced materials.
