DDL
offers a wide range of material product testing services that
draw from best practices testing techniques.
Our material testing engineers possess an extensive equipment
background which enables them to:
- measure mechanical properties,
- conduct material characterization analysis,
- aid in materials selection,
- serve as a packaging design authority
- add value to quality initiatives, and
- produce product performance tests.
DDL material testing capabilities include strength
testing and characterization of material response to fatigue.
The information that DDL engineers compile from
these tests help you to select the optimal material for your specific
application.
DDL also provides authoritative testing for
hazardous material packaging that must meet domestic and international
safety standards.
DDL Material Testing Services Include:
Flexure Tests - The most common, cost effective, and reliable
of the tests for brittle material strength is three and four point
flexure. These tests are performed on carefully prepared bar-shaped
specimens.
Compression Tests - Materials behave differently
in compression than they do in tension, so it is important to
perform fixture and transducer tests which simulate conditions
the material will be exposed to in actual use.
Tensile Strength Tests - Tensile strength tests
are considered to be a realistic representation of the stress
the material will experience during actual application. Tensile
Strength Testing is the most common test currently being conducted
in the industry. Tensile Strength Testing is being applied to
polymers, elastomers, metals, composites, ceramics and even rock.
Fatigue Tests - Fatigue tests are performed
primarily for specimens that are used in structural applications
where repetitive loads and strains require confirmation that the
chosen material is appropriate for the application.
Performance Tests -Performance tests are often
referred to as product or material tests. DDL is well equipped
to verify whether designs can meet the type of mechanical durability
and performance for which they were designed.
With an extensive background in servo control,
DDL engineers can control testing equipment in a way that enable
real life simulation of material conditions.
DDL services the nation with two testing facilities,
one located on the West Coast and one in the Midwest.
