How is torque to turn testing performed?
Torque to turn testing typically involves mounting the test specimen in a secure fixture, aligning the axis of rotation, and applying torque until the component begins to move.

Analysing and interpreting results
Results are expressed as the maximum load sustained by the sample. This can be converted into a ring crush index by dividing by the specimen width.

What is tension testing?
Tension testing, also called tensile testing, is a core mechanical test used to determine how a material behaves when subjected to a uniaxial tensile force. It measures properties such as strength, ductility and elasticity under controlled conditions.
