Thinking of investing in test equipment for your civil engineering lab or QA facility?  Looking over quotes with endless lists of items and part numbers when all you wanted was a quote to do compression testing on concrete cubes and cylinders in accordance with ASTM C39? Not sure what else will be added to the quote putting pressure on your already strained budget? |

A good reference document is; 'ASTM C1077 - 07a' Standard practice for Laboratories Testing Concrete and Concrete Aggregates for use in Construction'. This standard establishes the essential characteristics pertaining to the organization, personnel, facilities, and quality systems for a laboratory. Visit - www.ASTM.org for more information. |

What is materials testing? |

 Materials testing is the process of pulling, bending, twisting, turning, hitting, and squeezing materials or components to make sure they withstand the intense stresses, strains and impact forces they are likely to experience in use and application. In other words, materials’ testing examines the overall strength, toughness, flexibility, suitability and fitness for purpose.
That's not to say that the rivets of the Titanic, or the strength of the arena roof, weren't tested, but the likelihood of projects being built with faulty materials is greatly reduced by the testing of materials used in the construction of these man made projects. It's not just concrete, steel, bricks and mortar that are subjected to materials testing, virtually anything and everything can be tested, and is tested to ensure our safety. |

Why test? There has always been, and there will always be, a need to test products and materials to prevent disasters. Critical physical parameters must be measured to quantify performance and strength ensuring our safety and the safety of our environment.
