Tensile & Compression Testing

If you are looking for a value on the forces needed to assemble a product, or what it will take to overcome a connector latch or other device that mates together, let Environment Associates perform these tests for you. We can test in both tensile and compression on samples that are less than 14” (35.56 cm) wide and can handle product travel less than 54” (137.6 cm), with sensitivities at 0.01 lbs. (4.53 grams) at a wide range of speeds. EA specializes in the determination of connector performance for many different applications and styles.

We have a large selection of attachments for pulling wire terminals, connectors, snaps, wire, and other electrical terminations.

We can build any kind of fixture, jig or grip to test your part.

• Highest capacity both compression and tension: 1,000 lbs. with sensitivity at this range of 1 lb.

• Highest sensitivity of 0.01 lb is at the range of 10 lbs. maximum.

• Maximum speed of crosshead 1,000 mm/min.

• Minimum speed of crosshead 0.05 mm/min.
