Material Testing Services for ASTM Procedures
Products > Services
​
​
The Universal Grip Company provides a full range of testing services for ASTM procedures such as bend, compression, peel, puncture, tear and tensile testing. The tests can be performed up to 500 lbs. on a calibrated Galdabini universal testing machine. Individual testing reports can be generated which can include critical measurements such as ultimate tensile strength and elongation. Using the sophisticated Graphwork 6 software, advanced analysis can be performed on the data to derive Young's modulus or do custom calculations.
​
Universal Grip's testing services are geared towards smaller companies who are performing early stage R&D testing and may not be able to afford a testing machine, or expensive testing services from more traditional 3rd party labs. Our lab is ideal for materials manufacturers working in the adhesives, plastics, and textiles industries.
​
Turn around time for most tests is about 1 week. If the test requires a special type of ASTM fixture that is not in stock, it will take a few extra weeks in order to get the fixture manufactured and delivered.
​
Bend Testing
ASTM D790 - ASTM D6272 - ASTM C1161
Flexural Analysis is performed using either a 3 point or 4 point bend fixture.

Compression Testing
ASTM D695 - ASTM D3574
Compression Testing is peformed with compression platens. The sample is crushed and the indentation force deflection is measured.
