Physical & Mechanical Testing
If you are making something or purchasing it, you hope that it will be strong enough, will perform as described and will last.
B.I.T.S. also provide a mechanical and physical testing service with exactly these kind of expectations in mind.
We can cover a wide range of requirements from industrial through to domestic applications in the form of standard tests (in accordance with recognized specifications) or, backed by our extensive specialist knowledge and experience, we can devise specific, custom tests designed to perfectly meet your individual requirements - however specialist and demanding they may be.
Some of the Mechanical and Physical Tests we perform on a regular basis for our large base of clients include:
· Fatigue load testing products
· Closed cell content of foams
· Physical Testing of insulation products
· Lift Door testing to BS5655 : Part 13
· Development of ad-hoc programs, i.e. accelerated ageing by simulation of environmental conditions
· Static and dynamic flow pressure testing
· Positive and negative pressure effects on systems
· IP testing of enclosures
· IP rating for degrees of resistance to mechanical, dust and water penetration.
· General Tensile/Compression and shear testing of products
· 250kN Tensile / Compression Test Facility
· Long-term load and assessment programmed
· Water Vapour transmission to BS 3177, BS 4370 and BS EN 12086
· Safety and Impact testing of glass and mirrors to BS 6206

These are just some of the examples of what we can test, either on site or in our labs.
