UIC has a comprehensive range of Mechanical Testing services with a dedicated machine shop to assist in sample preparation. Test specimens are duly prepared for metallic and non-metallic materials for the evaluation of tensile, compression, impact, weldability, fatigue and bend properties.

The Mechanical Testing Facility at UIC conducts tensile tests for understanding the strength and characteristics of a particular material. It provides a precise determination of Proof Stress by the attachment of various electronic controls and extensometers. The Tensile test at Elevated Temperature is a special service offered by UIC . Tests are conducted as per ASTM, BS, IS, DIN, NACE or other client-specified standards.

Superior technology, responsive versatility, and quality performance ensure 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 fabrication TOFD weld blocks for NDT operators.

Material testing is a crucial process that involves evaluating the physical and mechanical properties of various materials. It is used to determine the durability, strength, and quality of materials. Different types of material testing equipment are utilized to analyze and understand the behavior of materials. There are several categories of material testing, including mechanical testing, thermal property testing, electrical property testing, resistance testing (corrosion, radiation, and biological deterioration), and nondestructive testing.

The purpose of material testing is to ensure that materials used in infrastructure and vital equipment are reliable and will perform optimally over time. By conducting material testing, organizations can make informed decisions about the suitability of materials for specific applications and ensure the safety and reliability of their products.

Common techniques used in material testing include tensile testing, which measures the material's response to tension; hardness testing, which evaluates resistance to indentation or scratching; and impact testing, which examines the resistance to sudden loading or impact. Other methods include fatigue testing, flexural testing, and compression testing.

Material testing is essential in industries such as manufacturing, construction, automotive, aerospace, and many others. By ensuring the quality and performance of materials, it allows engineers and designers to make informed choices and improve the overall reliability and safety of products.
