While some mechanical flaws are easy to detect, others are not. Issues such as seal deformations, component fatigue, and other complex defects require a specialized level of expertise to identify the problem and determine the cause—a level of expertise offered by Stork mechanical testing services.

Combining our vast experience with advanced technology and proven methodology, Stork accredited laboratories will generate the answers you need to ensure optimal product performance.

Stork Materials Technology offers a comprehensive range of mechanical services that are designed to ensure products meet industry standards, perform as expected, and will last. We perform fatigue or stress rupture analysis on components or structures up to 100,000 pounds and stress durability tests on components or structures weighing as much as 200,000 pounds. In addition, we provide:

• Hardness Testing including Rockwell, Brinell, standard, superficial, and microhardness testing.
• Tensile Testing including wedge, axial, weld, castings, elevated temperature, machined specimens, full-size tensile and yield—plus heat
  treat capabilities.
• Torque Testing for lock nuts, collars, eddy nuts, boldrecess, and wrenches.
• Fatigue Testing including fracture toughness, and strain or stress controlled axial fatigue testing.
• Charpy Testing including subsize and standard, weld and HAZ, elevated and
  cryogenic temperatures.
• Bend Testing for bolts, welds, and raw materials
• Proof Load Testing including tension and compression testing of nuts, bolts, components, and full products
• Shear Testing for bolts
