Fasteners - Bolts, Studs and Rods laboratories may also do the following tests:

Tensile Testing: Measures the force required to pull something such as a bolt or a rod to the point where it breaks Testing
Hardness Testing: Determines the resistance of the metal to deformation. Common methods include Rockwell Testing
Brinell Testing
and Vickers hardness tests Testing
Torque Testing: Assesses the torque strength of a bolt or stud to ensure it can handle the application?s load requirements without failing Testing
Shear Testing: Evaluates the shear strength of fasteners to ensure they can resist opposing forces and do not shear off under load Testing
Fatigue Testing: Tests the fastener's ability to withstand repeated load cycles without failure Testing
