Test Types

Force tests can be broadly subdivided into three basic types: tensile testing, compression testing and torque testing.  Within these categories, there are many different test types that Mecmesin machines and instruments can provide solutions for. 

Please click on the test types below or in the left-hand menu to find out more about specific test applications, including a brief description and relevant standards that apply to them.  This list is not exhaustive and if your test type is not covered, please call our experts, or request a callback and we will contact you.
