Mechanical testing is a set of tests that provide a better understanding of how materials react when put under physical stress.
Elastomers, plastics, and metals experience tension, compression, flexing, and impact in service. Mechanical testing helps identify how these materials behave under load. This information is essential when selecting the right product for demanding environments. Alpine offers several standard and customized tests to provide valuable data about material limits.
