Hi,

I am currently looking for a material testing facility of building material products that has the capability of conducting destructive tensile tests on reinforcing bar to ASTM A615 /ASTM A370 standard.

The testing machine will need to be of particularly high calibre as the breaking strain of the bar is 2800kN. The bar is a high grade 63.5mm bar.

I would be most grateful if anyone could direct me to such an institute.

Cheers Big Bars.
