Understanding how materials respond to sliding forces is critical for ensuring product safety and structural reliability. Our shear testing services accurately measure a material’s ability to resist shear stress—when two opposing forces act parallel to the surface and attempt to cause layers to slide against each other. Whether you're working with adhesives, metals, polymers, or composites, shear testing helps you evaluate bond strength, structural integrity, and mechanical performance under real-world conditions.

How Shear Testing Works

In shear testing, a controlled force is applied to a sample until it fails along a specific plane. This allows us to determine the maximum shear strength, shear modulus, and deformation behaviour of the material. We perform tests according to industry standards, ensuring accurate, consistent, and traceable results. Our state-of-the-art equipment and expert technicians deliver reliable data you can trust—whether you're validating product quality, improving design, or ensuring compliance with engineering specifications. With our shear testing services, you gain the insight needed to build stronger, safer, and more durable products.
