Why Shear Testing Is Critical to Structural Integrity
Ensuring Reliability, Safety, and Compliance
Shear testing evaluates how materials and joints withstand parallel stress before deformation or failure. This data is essential for:
- Safety and Performance: Confirming that welds, fasteners, and bonded joints meet load-bearing requirements.
- Compliance: Meeting ASTM A370, NASM 1312-13, ASTM E8, and ASME specifications.
- Material Validation: Comparing shear strength across alloys, weldments, and coatings for fatigue and lifecycle performance.
In industries where failure is not an option, shear testing ensures that components hold up under stress — from aircraft assemblies to subsea pipelines.
