Pull Out Test

Amtest UK offers professional pull-out testing to assess the strength and security of bolts, screws, anchors, and fixings. This test ensures that these critical components can withstand the designed stress loads, providing confidence in their performance and safety.

Pull-out testing involves attaching a specialised test rig to the fixing and applying tension to simulate real-world stress conditions. The test determines the maximum load the fixing can bear before failure or deformation, providing vital data for construction and engineering applications.

How Does the Process Work?

  1. Specification Review
    Let us know the type, size, and material of the fixing, as well as the required load level for testing.
  2. Testing Setup
    Using advanced rigs, we securely attach the fixing and apply tension to the desired load level under controlled conditions.
  3. Results Analysis
    We provide a detailed report, outlining the test methodology, achieved load levels, and any observations regarding the fixing’s performance.
  4. On-Site Analysis
    For added convenience, our team can perform tests directly at your site, offering immediate insights into the security of fixings in their real-world application.

Applications of Pull-Out Testing

  • Structural Safety Assessments
    Verify the load-bearing capacity of fixings in load-critical areas such as beams, columns, and ceilings.
  • Regulatory Compliance
    Ensure that your fixings meet relevant building codes and standards.
  • Material Verification
    Evaluate the performance of new or untested fixing materials for project approval.
