LPD Lab Services has a large range of mechanical tests that can assess the mechanical properties of a wide array of materials, including metals, plastics, composites, laminates, adhesives, coatings and ceramics.

Understanding the mechanical properties of a material can help ensure a component has a robust design or aid in finding the root causes of mechanical failure.

LPD Lab services can also offer a detailed analysis of mechanical and materials failures using a number of analytical techniques.

LPD Lab Services has mechanical testing facilities for tensile, compressive and bending measurements. We can also offer test to failure of components and measurement of adhesion bond strengths using peel, delamination and wedge tests.

For situations where a detailed insight is required on the structure of a join or bond, we can offer a metallographic analysis using a number of sectioning and imaging methods.

If you require hardness testing LPD Lab Services has facilities to test several materials.

Details of the laboratory’s capabilities for tensile, hardness testing of materials and metallograhic analysis can be found via the links below.
