9 Material Testing Lab Equipment List

Construction materials testing laboratories require equipment for handling, preparing and analyzing samples. At Atico Lab Export we supply all of the general laboratory equipment that may be specified by standard test methods.

Spectroscopic analysis equipment provides valuable insight into the chemical composition and molecular structure of samples. There are different models of spectrometers designed to meet various testing requirements.

1. Tensile Testing Machine

Tensile Testing involves subjecting your sample to controlled tension until it breaks, as well as measuring other material properties like reduction in area, peak load and maximum elongation to aid design and production teams in making improvements for product or component enhancements.

These testers feature durable load frames, straightforward controls and user-friendly digital displays for optimal operation. Furthermore, these testers come equipped with flexible grips and fixtures suitable for various shapes, sizes, materials and applications.

2. Impact Testing Machine

We specialize in manufacturing, supplying and exporting high-grade Impact Testing Machine. This industrial equipment allows users to conduct Izod and Charpy tests successfully and comes equipped with support blocks and strikers constructed of robust materials that ensure optimal performance.

This pendulum impact tester conducts tests that assess the energy needed to break a sample of material, as well as measuring its impact resilience (Joules). Additionally, this pendulum impact tester meets international standards.

3. Rockwell Hardness Tester

The Rockwell test method is an efficient, straightforward approach to quality assessment for hard materials. Specifically designed to facilitate efficient production management and quality assurance processes.

The test employs either a diamond cone or steel ball to indent a specimen and measure its permanent depth of impression, recording any changes that might arise over time as a result. As hard materials tend to leave deeper impressions than soft ones do. A variety of loads and indenters is available to cover all Rockwell scales.

4. Flexural Testing Machine

Flexural test results enable construction professionals to assess a material’s ability to withstand bending forces. These tests are carried out using special laboratory equipment which precisely measures and records any forces applied to samples for evaluation.

Setest India has designed its digital flexural testing machine with a revolutionary design to ensure maximum rigidity throughout its working range and offer smooth operation and functionality.

5. Compression Testing Machine

Compression testing is a crucial way of revealing mechanical properties of materials and components, from windshields in cars to concrete beams used in construction projects.

Our compression testing machine features an array of adaptable accessories to expand testing capability. Choose from 50kN to 5000kN force capacities available with analog or digital models featuring pace rate indicators.

6. Bending Testing Machine

Specialized equipment that tests materials’ strength, flexibility, and suitability is called an instrument of testing (or instrument of examination). Such tests ensure that construction materials meet quality and safety standards for Civil engineering lab equipment.

Automatic field data loading via barcode scanners ensures the testing machine knows exactly which specimen it’s testing, reducing manual errors and speeding up lab processes while providing faster delivery of test results to project stakeholders.

7. Shear Testing Machine

Direct shear tests are performed to assess the strength of rock and soil samples. They involve placing them inside a shear box and applying an applied force across their width.

Shear testing machines use a control system to apply load and measure displacement; additionally they calculate shear stress rates as well as normal strain rates.

Shear testers feature large touchscreen color displays that enable users to navigate all functions, pause and reset during testing sessions and select calibration modes for transducers.

8. Flexural Testing Machine

Flexural testing machines are used to assess the bending strength of materials and can often be found in laboratories associated with material testing companies.

Setest India’s digital flexural testing machine has been carefully engineered to offer maximum rigidity throughout its working range, making it the ideal device for conducting flexural tests on standard concrete beams with its double lever loading system and flow of lead shot.

9. Impact Testing Machine

Impact testing measures the energy required to break a sample of material such as plastic. It can also be used as an assessment tool of their resilience against damage.

Traditional impact tests – Izod and Charpy — have been disapproved by researchers at some materials suppliers due to their poor accuracy and repeatability. Instrumented falling-weight and pendulum impact testers provide more reliable results.

10. Rockwell Hardness Tester

Rockwell hardness testing is a convenient and fast method of measuring bulk hardness of metallic materials. This approach is suitable for all metals as well as some plastics.

Fine make hardness tester models RAS, RAB-1, RAB-250 and TWIN are manually operated hardness testers designed with simplicity in mind; easy to operate but sensitive enough for Rockwell Superficial test specifications. These manual hardness testers adhere strictly to IS 1586 2000 & ASTM E 18 tests for Rockwell testing.
