MECHANICAL TESTING

DANHOLSEN Global has a comprehensive range of Mechanical Testing services with a dedicated machine shop to assist in sample preparation.
The Mechanical Testing Facility at DANHOLSEN conducts tensile tests for understanding the strength characteristics of a material and provides precise determination of Proof Stress by the attachment of various electronic controls and extensometers. Testing temperatures range from 50°C to 850°C and beyond for particularly high temperature applications. The Mechanical Testing department at Danholsen performs a range of Impact tests, including Izod and Charpy testing from 100°C to -196°C. Highly specialized pressure test facilities are also available.

Danholsen is well equipped to determine mechanical properties of materials and solve a wide variety of technical problems for industry. Mechanical Testing Facilities available at DANHOLSEN include:
• Universal Testing Machine of Capacity 100 T with Electronic Extensometer
• CharpyIzod Impact Tester
• Brinell / Vickers Hardness Tester and Rockwell Hardness Tester
• Rockwell Superficial Hardness Tester, Micro Hardness Tester
• Hydraulic Test Pump
Superior technology, responsive versatility, and quality performance ensures reliable and fast turnaround on all test results. A dedicated in-house sample machine shop ensures that all test samples are machined onsite. Experts in the Machine shop are capable of low stress grinding and machining sub-size specimens to very close tolerances. Professionals in the machine shop can custom design fixtures, mount specimens for metallography examinations, and custom fabricate UT. PAUT. TOFD weld blocks for NDT operators. Equipment at the machine shop includes wire cut machine, milling and lathe machines, hacksaw, drilling machine, stress-free grinding equipment, saws, surface grinders, and other tools.
