Expert Testing & Witnessing

American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM) Standard Mechanical and Tribological Tests

UMT testers can perform most of the ISO, American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM) and DIN standard tests, including:

mechanical tests
friction tests
wear tests
scratch tests
adhesion tests
hardness tests

Please email or call us for details per each standard test you need.

Descriptions of the UMT configuration and procedures for some of the standard tests are attached below.
