ITNOG provides a range of destructive laboratory tests that are essential for assessing the mechanical properties of materials used in the oil and gas industry. Our laboratory is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, software, and equipment to ensure precision and efficiency in testing processes.
Our suite of laboratory tests includes tensile testing, hardness testing, bend testing, Charpy impact testing, and compression testing. Each test provides valuable information on the mechanical properties of materials, including strength, ductility, toughness, and elasticity.
Tensile testing is one of the most common destructive laboratory tests, which involves applying a controlled tension to a material until it fractures. This test provides valuable information on the material’s ultimate tensile strength, yield strength, and elongation. Tensile testing is essential for the quality control of metallic materials and is a critical step in the manufacturing process.
Hardness testing measures the material’s resistance to indentation, scratching, or deformation. This test is an excellent method for comparing the hardness of different materials and is widely used in the oil and gas industry to assess the wear resistance and durability of materials.
Bend testing is used to determine the ductility of a material. In this test, the material is subjected to a bending force until it fractures. Bend testing is essential in the oil and gas industry, where materials must withstand various stressors, including temperature and pressure fluctuations.
Charpy impact testing is a critical destructive laboratory test for assessing the toughness of materials, especially those used in low-temperature environments. This test involves striking a notched specimen with a pendulum and measuring the energy absorbed during the impact. The results of this test provide valuable information about the material’s resistance to fracture under shock loading.
Compression testing is another vital destructive laboratory test used to assess a material’s strength under compression. This test involves compressing a sample between two platens until it fails, providing insight into the material’s compressive strength and modulus of elasticity.
