Equipment & Infrastructure

Advanced mechanical characterisation

OCAS’s facilities include equipment for advanced mechanical characterisation:

• Tensile test & high temperature tensile test
• Charpy testing
• Battelle drop weight tear test
• Dynamic tear test
• Cyclic tension-compression (Bauschinger) test
• Fatigue test
• Resonant bending fatigue test
• Tubular testing system
• Bending tools

In addition to regular sample preparation tools, OCAS is equipped with waterjet and plasma cutting. 

Thanks to its expertise in the oil & gas sector, OCAS developed a dedicated flattening tool to prepare samples from pipes.

Furthermore, OCAS has vast expertise in sheet metal forming.
