Construction materials
The manufacturing of building materials for construction is an established industry in many countries. Many factors come into play including choices such as natural or more man-made and composite; biodegradable to imperishable; local sourcing to being transported globally; repairable to disposable; increased levels of fire-safety, and improved seismic resistance.
Construction materials all rely on their mechanical strength to meet exacting specifications and processing requirements. Too brittle or too soft and they may break easily. Too malleable and they may stretch too far. Ensuring the quality of construction materials and their engineered assemblies can be effectively monitored by Mecmesin tensile and compression testers. Applications requiring the close monitoring of torsional strength can be met by Mecmesin torque testing systems.
Materials covered are as diverse as structural clay and brick, wood and timber, cement composites, concrete, synthetic fabrics and membranes, foams and mineral wools, gypcretes, metals, plastics .... and many more.
