Pull Out Testing in London for bolts, fixings and anchors.

Pull out testing for the construction, highways and ship building industry in London.

Pull out testing in London is carried out to establish how strong the fixings are between a typical fixing and concrete and many other securing materials.

Pull out testing and tensile strength testing is usually required as there are a number of factors which can effect the bonding of materials.

One of those factors is weaknesses which may not be noticed, particularly when only a visual inspection is carried out.  Other concerns are degraded strength of the bonding material caused by low temperature, frost, or when contaminants infiltrates into the joint.

Another cause of poor surface bonding strength is as a result of smooth side walls.

The entire strength of the whole structure may be weaker so as to loose the integral strength of the structure due to the vital bonding materials failing. Ultimately, this may result in construction malfunctions leading to disastrous consequences.

About our pull out testing services in London.

Pull out testing in London is conducted either on a wide test batch or a smaller intensive scale.

Testing entails duplication of the design maximum stress levels planned in construction as stipulated by the standards of the industry.

Push pull testing is a detailed stress testing study of the performance of bonded materials.

If problems have been detected then pull out testing can be used to rapidly find out the scale of any problem.

Early fault finding is designed to detect any malfunctions which, in turn, can help to avoid future higher costs.

Quicker pull out testing, (larger sample testing), may be used under certain circumstances where the financial feasibility of the large scale is far reaching and faults have been detected.

Pull out tests can quickly test more fixings and will only show the pass or fail of maximum loads being tested.

The test methods are identical as push pull tests but only the pass or failure is recorded. Push pull testing is normally used to detect problems the quicker pull out tests will find out the extent of such problems.
