What is Shear Testing?
The primary purpose of conducting Shear testing on chosen anchors is to ensure the accurate completion of the selection and installation procedure, sticking closely to the manufacturer’s specifications.
Why is Shear Testing Important?
Shear testing is a crucial step in verifying the strength and integrity of substrates and anchors, ensuring they meet industry standards and performance requirements. By accurately assessing shear resistance, this testing method helps confirm compliance with manufacturer specifications, enhances overall safety, and serves as a key quality control measure in structural and material performance evaluation.
How Does the shear testing process work?
Proof Testing
We perform proof testing on a post-installed anchor to ensure correct installation and, consequently, attain its safe working load (SWL) along with an additional factor of safety.
Preliminary Testing
At Shear Testing Systems, we conduct initial tests to assess surface strength, install tailored anchors if needed, and perform thorough shear testing, ensuring compliance, safety, and comprehensive reporting with visual and acoustic data.
Ultimate Load Testing
We perform Ultimate load testing to determine the maximum load the fixing can achieve in the chosen surface. As a result of this all Shear Testing on these anchors are completed to failure.
