Fracture toughness testing is a mechanical test method used to determine the energy needed to initiate and cause failure within a material. It can also be used in conjunction with fatigue testing, corrosion testing, and elevated temperatures to determine the useful life of the material under different conditions.

Our fracture toughness testing services

Using advanced techniques and equipment, our experts provide valuable insight into material performance, helping you make critical determinations about the safety, fitness, and longevity of metallic, non-metallic, and advanced materials. As a single-source provider of mechanical testing, we can assist in creating a testing program that gives you confidence in your products and materials.

Our services include characterizing fracture toughness through single point critical values as well as tearing resistance diagrams, following the international standards including ISO and ASTM.

Fracture toughness specimen geometries

DTI is well equipped to perform this testing and analysis on a vast range of specimen size and crack geometries, including but not limited to:

Compact Tension (CT)

Middle Tension (MT)

Single-Edge Notched Tension (SENT)

Single-Edge Notched Bend (SENB or three-point bend)

Extended Compact Tension (ECT)

Centre Cracked Tension (CCT)

Surface Cracked Tension (SCT)

Composite Materials under modes I, II and III loading

Materials class and fracture mechanics test capabilities

Our experts test high-strength ferrous, nonferrous, polymer, and composite materials using advanced computer-controlled servo-hydraulic test frames. Coupled with decades of experience and many successful applications, our advanced equipment control, processes, and data acquisition methods allow us to guide you on even the most complex test results.

There is also the possibility to create a custom testing analysis and accommodate any request for non-standard fracture mechanics testing protocol for your specific application or environment. DTI offers Fracture Mechanics and Toughness Testing in Sour Environment (in-situ) for the oil and gas industry as their pipelines and equipment are often exposed to sour service gases and liquids. Our services for the energy industry also include Hydrogen Piping System Testing according to ASME.
