In many applications, torsional forces applied to a component or material can cause stress, fatigue, and eventual failure. Smithers' torsional testing capabilities allow development teams to evaluate everything from polymer material formulations to final, end products under a variety of test conditions. While we cover a wide range of test methods, we can also review custom setups to design a testing program that would meet your requirements.
