flattening / Flaring / Proof load test

Flattening Test

The flattening test is a mechanical procedure used in the testing of metals to determine a material's ductility and resistance to deformation. On pipes, tubes, or other cylindrical metal objects, it is frequently performed.

Flaring Test

The flaring test, often referred to as the flare test or flareability test, is a mechanical procedure used in the testing of metals to evaluate the ductility and formability of metal tubes and pipes, especially those used in the automotive, aerospace, and hydraulic industries.

Proof Load Test

The purpose of the proof load test, a type of mechanical test used in metal testing, is to ascertain the maximum force that a metal fastener or structural component can sustain without permanently deforming or failing.

01. Flattening Test​
The flattening test is a mechanical test performed in metal testing to evaluate the ductility and resistance to deformation of a metal material. It is commonly conducted on pipes, tubes, or other cylindrical metal specimens.​
02. Flaring Test​
The flaring test, also known as the flare test or flareability test, is a mechanical test performed in metal testing to assess the ductility and formability of metal tubes or pipes, particularly those used in the automotive, aerospace, and hydraulic industries.
03. Proof Load Test​
The proof load test is a type of mechanical test conducted in metal testing to determine the maximum load a metal fastener or structural component can withstand without permanent deformation or failure. ​
