Mechanical testing
Where materials meet their limits, so science can go further.
Testing today’s materials for tomorrow’s accelerators
Turning Materials into Measured Performance
Validate your designs with real data
From tensile to fatigue, from compliance checks to simulations—we deliver the data you need.
Materials tested from 300 K down to 4 K
Comprehensive tensile, fracture, and fatigue data to design parts, meet specifications, and improve predictions.

01
If it exists, we test it
Mechanical testing of all material families, including polymers, ceramics and advanced composites, is performed with precision here. Comprehensive coverage spans an extensive range of temperatures, from 300 K down to 4 K, enabling detailed analysis of material behaviour under various conditions.
02
From first crack to final break
Tensile, compression, flexural, fracture toughness, and fatigue testing are performed with high precision, supported by advanced digital image correlation techniques. This allows for detailed analysis of material mechanical behaviour under different conditions and loading scenarios.


03
Expertise you can trust
Decades of cryogenic and structural materials know-how and expertise, with extensive testing performed to national and international standards (ASTM, EN, ISO), ensuring accurate, reliable, and reproducible results for advanced engineering applications, critical components, and demanding industrial environments.
04
Fast, reliable results
We are a technology-driven service focused on delivering results with rigour and precision. At the same time, we understand the deadlines, budgets, and constraints of each project, and we adapt flexibly to your specific needs.


05
Your bridge to specialized laboratories
We are part of a unique network of laboratories, fully equipped for advanced testing under extreme conditions. If your materials cannot be tested in-house, we will connect with the right specialists to ensure you get the answers you need—whatever the challenge.
06
Turning materials into measured performance
Supporting material selection, weld qualification, and quality assurance through advanced methods, expert guidance, and rigorous testing to ensure compliance and optimal performance. Bring us your materials, we’ll tell you their story.
