Physical Testing

Do you need to conduct physical testing to determine material properties or structural integrity?

Let us help! FAI Materials Testing performs these tests on virtually a daily basis in accordance with a wide range of standard test methods from ASTM, TAPPI, and ISO. We offer a wide variety of physical tests since materials and processes can be defined and controlled using their physical properties. FAI Materials Testing offers custom methodology to meet your unique testing needs.
We test to determine a variety of factors including:

Instron Universal Load Frame

We provide numerous types of physical testing on a wide variety of materials for our customers using an Instron Universal Load Frame. Our test methods are consistent with ASTM methods including, but not limited to D412, D3330, D3787, D5034, and D5587. We have load range capabilities as high as 1000 pounds and thermal capabilities of performing tests at elevated temperatures as high as 220 ºC. FAI also modifies the Instron and methods to allow for unique customer needs and materials.

An Instron Universal Load Frame can be used to determine physical properties of materials including tensile strength, compressive strength, elastic modulus, bending modulus, tear resistance, creep and stress relaxation behaviors, and a range of other physical properties.

FAI can meet your physical testing needs with standardized test methods and unique engineering capabilities.
