Innoval Technology

We’ve recently invested in a new Instron 50kN load frame to enhance our materials testing capability. It allows us to perform a large range of accredited tests across a wide range of metals with very high accuracy.

Our new load frame includes a video extensometer to measure axial and transverse strain. This can help you to understand the mechanical properties of your material; for example, the ultimate tensile strength, yield strength, ductility and modulus values. Ask us for a quotation: [email protected]
