Universal Testing Machine (100 kN)

About this resource

A calibrated 100 kN universal testing machine for tensile, compression and bend tests on metals and rigid polymers. The lab machines your samples to standard geometry if needed, runs the test to the relevant IS or ASTM method, and issues an NABL-endorsed report. Startups typically come here to characterise a new material lot, validate a supplier claim, or generate the mechanical data a certification or tender file demands. Reports are accepted by BIS auditors and most export customers. The startup desk guarantees a 48-hour report turnaround from sample acceptance, and the lab manager will advise on sampling plans so you test the minimum number of specimens that still stands up to scrutiny.

• NABL-endorsed test reports in 48 hours
• IS and ASTM methods on file
• Specimen machining available in-house
• Advice on sampling plans before you spend

The organisation

Steel City MTC runs mechanical, metallurgical and corrosion testing for the Salem steel and foundry belt. The lab processes about 900 samples a month for industrial clients and issues NABL-endorsed reports accepted by BIS and export auditors. Through the CII programme it reserves capacity for startup samples with a 48-hour turnaround commitment and a discounted first-sample rate.
