Fastener Testing
A fastener is a non-permanent or permanent mechanical tool that mechanically joins or affixes two or more objects together. Fasteners are commonly used in various fields, including but not limited to the construction, automotive and aerospace industries. Fasteners play a key role in ensuring the safety and reliability of structures and therefore undergo a rigorous testing procedure to determine their performance and durability.
Alfa Chemistry's experts have years of experience in fastener testing. Whether you need to test screws, bolts, nuts or any other type of fastener, Alfa Chemistry has the ability to help you ensure the reliability of your product.
