Tensile and shear testing up to 120,000 lbs. can be performed on machined test specimens or fasteners.  Instrumented, computer controlled tensile tests (as shown in the photo on the right) can be performed on machined specimens providing yield and modulas data.  Fasteners up to 1" diameter can be tested. Fixturing is maintained for both double and single shear testing and for various configurations of test bars . Shown below are several of the fixture types maintained for mechanical testing at NDE, Inc.
