Critical to understanding and preventing product failures, stress rupture and creep test methods provide valuable insights into the effect of long term stress on materials. Element performs standard and elevated test methods for a variety of materials, including metals, composites and plastics.
Stress rupture testing and creep tests are specialized mechanical testing services that provide manufacturers with critical data about their product's performance over time. During testing, a material is held under a definite constant load for a given period of time, at up to 1800°F, until failure occurs. Our experts then analyze the results to provide important data about physical and thermal stress over extended periods.
