This is one of the more unusual mechanical tests we’ve done recently, and a great example of our bespoke testing services for clients whose specifications go beyond the norm.

It’s a torsion test using our Instron E10000. We simulated doing up a nut on a bolted joint to a specified torque, and measured the resulting tension within the bolt with a sandwich type load cell.
