Plastics are everywhere—automobiles, consumer products, electronics, medical devices, packaging, construction materials, aerospace parts, and more. But behind every plastic product you see, there is a long chain of quality checks that ensures it performs the way it was designed to. That’s where plastic mechanical testing services @ Kiyo R&D LAB play a crucial role.
As a NABL-accredited testing laboratory in Chennai, Kiyo R&D Lab supports manufacturers, OEMs, startups, R&D teams, and final-year engineering students with precise, reliable, and global-standard testing services for all types of polymers and composites. Whether it’s determining strength, durability, stiffness, toughness, or failure behavior, mechanical testing reveals exactly how a material will behave in the real world.
In this blog, let’s break down why mechanical testing is essential, the major tests offered, the industries that rely on these results, and how Kiyo R&D Lab delivers fast, accurate, and traceable reports you can trust.
Plastic components are expected to withstand mechanical loads—pulling, bending, compressing, impacting, or twisting—without failing. Mechanical testing helps you understand:
If you are a manufacturer, choosing the wrong material or ignoring mechanical properties can result in product failure, customer complaints, warranty claims, or safety issues. If you’re a student working on a final-year project, accurate data strengthens your research and helps you justify your design decisions.
This is why plastic mechanical testing services @ Kiyo R&D LAB are widely trusted by industries and academic institutions across India.
Kiyo R&D Lab offers a complete range of mechanical tests as per ASTM, ISO, and BIS standards. Each test is performed using calibrated equipment and supervised by qualified experts.
Below are the key mechanical tests available:
This is one of the most important mechanical tests for plastics.
It measures:
This test helps determine how a plastic material performs when pulled. Industries like automotive, electronics, consumer goods, and product design rely heavily on this data.
Kiyo R&D Lab uses state-of-the-art Universal Testing Machines (UTM) to deliver precise and reproducible tensile test results.
Flexural or bending tests help understand how much a plastic can bend before breaking. These results are crucial for products that undergo structural bending, such as:
The test provides flexural strength, flexural modulus, and load–deflection behavior.
Compression tests simulate forces that push materials together. This is essential for:
Kiyo R&D Lab’s compression test results help you evaluate how plastics withstand crushing loads.
Impact resistance tells you how tough your material is when subjected to a sudden force. This test determines:
Industries like automotive, helmets, electrical housings, and safety equipment depend on accurate impact test values.
Hardness tests measure a material’s resistance to indentation. The test is crucial for rubbery plastics, engineering plastics, elastomers, and polyurethane components.
Depending on material type, Kiyo R&D Lab performs:
Tear resistance is essential for flexible materials like:
This test helps evaluate how a plastic behaves when a tear propagates under load.
Used to evaluate the wear behavior of plastic parts exposed to friction. Essential for consumer goods, automotive components, and wear-resistant applications.
Long-term loading behavior of plastics is tested using creep and relaxation measurements. This helps engineers choose the right material for sustained load-bearing applications.
