Mecmesin provides solutions for tests on products or materials that require measurement of a force to pull apart, push together, twist or turn.
We divide these into broad test types as listed here.
Some tests are best done with smaller instruments, some require our largest test stands, depending on the specimen to be tested, its size, shape, and force required.
We'll help explain a little more about what is involved in each test type and walk you through our testing systems and instruments.
Speak to one of our experts if you need help in working out what test or equipment you might need.
