Kiyo R&D Lab is a trusted mechanical properties testing lab in Chennai for plastics, rubber, and composite materials. Using calibrated Universal Testing Machines (UTM) and standardized methods per ASTM and ISO specifications, we measure tensile strength, flexural strength, impact resistance, hardness, and compression behavior — giving you the precise, standards-referenced data needed for material selection, product design validation, and quality control.
Our Mechanical Properties Testing Services
Tensile Strength
We measure the maximum tensile stress a plastic, rubber, or composite material can withstand before breaking, per ASTM D638 and ISO 527, giving you yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, and elongation data for informed material selection.
Flexural Strength
We measure the maximum tensile stress a plastic, rubber, or composite material can withstand before breaking, per ASTM D638 and ISO 527, giving you yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, and elongation data for informed material selection.
Impact Resistance
Our Izod and Charpy impact testing, per ASTM D256 and ISO 179, assesses how a material absorbs sudden shock without fracturing — essential for automotive interior and exterior components exposed to real-world impact.
Hardness
We measure surface resistance to indentation using Shore and Rockwell hardness testing per ASTM D2240 and ASTM D785, helping you predict wear resistance and surface durability.
Compression Strength
Per ASTM D695, we apply compressive load to determine how a material behaves under crushing forces — important for gaskets, seals, and structural components under sustained load.
Fracture Toughness
Using ASTM D5045, we quantify a material's resistance to crack propagation, revealing brittleness risks before they become field failures.
Fatigue Strength
Cyclic loading testing per ASTM D671 evaluates how a material withstands repeated stress over time — critical for components subject to vibration or repetitive motion in service.
Creep Resistance
Per ASTM D2990, we subject specimens to prolonged constant stress to measure long-term deformation — vital for load-bearing plastic and rubber components used over extended service life.
Poisson's Ratio
We determine the ratio of lateral to axial strain per ASTM E132, providing data essential for accurate structural and finite element analysis (FEA) modeling.
Modulus of Elasticity
Calculated from our tensile and flexural test data per ASTM D638/D790, this measures a material's stiffness — how much it deforms elastically under load before returning to its original shape.

Tensile Strength
We measure the maximum tensile stress a plastic material can withstand before breaking, providing insights into its strength and load-bearing capacity.
Flexural Strength
By subjecting plastic specimens to bending forces, we determine their resistance to deformation and ability to withstand applied loads.
Impact Resistance
Our testing assesses the ability of plastic materials to withstand sudden impact or shock without fracture or failure, providing critical information about their durability.
Compression Strength
By applying compressive forces to plastic samples, we evaluate their ability to withstand compression and maintain their structural integrity.
Fracture Toughness
Our testing determines the ability of plastic materials to resist crack propagation and fracture, providing insights into their resistance to catastrophic failure.
Fatigue Strength
We assess the ability of plastic materials to withstand cyclic loading and repetitive stress, crucial for applications requiring long-term durability.
