Quasi-static & Fatigue Testing Facilities


CEAM's Quasi-static testing facilities include 5 computer-controlled hydraulic and multi-axial load frames, providing state-of-the-art testing of materials under quasi-static loading and fatigue. Multiple hydraulic pumps enable simultaneous operation of all load frames.



Twin beam Micro Load Frame


  • Thin film, or single 20 mm glass or carbon fiber load frame.
  • Measures Young's modulus, UTS, displacement & load.
  • Matched cantilever beams and strain gages.
  • Stand-alone or with a servo-hydraulic load frame.
  • Easily adapted to a variety of testing environments.
