Shear Testing
Shear test is to determine the resistance of materials under shear force, which is one of the basic test methods to test the mechanical properties of materials. Shear test is the most commonly used method to determine the shear strength of a material, which is the maximum shear stress that a material can withstand before fracture. This is a very important design feature for bolts and screws, etc. many types of fasteners. T, C&A Lab provides a wide range of shear test methods according to ASTM and ISO standards, suitable for a wide variety of samples, including metals, polymers, and composites and other materials.
