Composites testing

Be confident that your composites are fit for the job, with our full suite of testing machines and solutions.

Composites can be incredibly durable and hardwearing, but they can still be vulnerable to faults or unable to cope with certain settings. With the right testing, you’ll have all the information you need to perfect your design or sign off on your QA.

Composite testing types

Are you looking for testing equipment that can help you understand every aspect of the composite materials your new supplier is offering? Do you need the latest in test frames to apply pressure to your samples? Or an environmental test chamber to understand how well your products will withstand the elements? Industrial Physics can help.

We provide solutions for tension testing, compression testing, flexure testing, impact testing, tensile testing and melt flow testing – so you can get the results you need to complete your R&D or choose new composite components for your products.

From Indentation Hardness Testers that can be fixed to a bench and used to test how much loaded force a composite sample can withstand to Clip-On Extensometers to determine the changes in length of a sample when under tension, we’ve got you covered.

Test for a wide range of composites

We provide tension, compression, and materials testing devices for a wide range of composite types. From reinforced concrete, synthetic wood, reinforced plastic, and ceramic composites, we can help you find the tests you need.

We understand the differences between the various composites available and can give you guidance on finding the testing solutions that will fit, from Universal Testing Machines suitable for a wide range of different materials and applications to specialized solutions, such as a film thickness gauge to let you assess whether a coating applied over a composite is of the appropriate thickness.

Composite testing to meet international standards

Whether you’re in the construction industry or you’re developing new packaging or household products, we know you’ll want to make sure all of your composites are testing to match the standards of your industry. All of our composite testing machines and accessories are developed with regulations in mind, from ASTM D2240 to  ISO7619.
