Polystrapping Tension Testing Services Needed
(OP)
I am looking for services to conduct tension tests on poly strapping material. I went to UL and have received on quote, but need another independent source to conduct some pull tests onthis material for comparision of our in house results. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I have tried a search but did not come up with anything for this material.
Thanks,
Cervatis

I'm in the southeast US. There are labs in Houston, Atlanta, Jacksonville, Charlotte, Birmingham and other locations that can do this type of testing.

how much load are you looking at ? (ie special equipment ?)
why a lab ? what certification are you looking for ? would you witnessing the test be sufficient ??

Is there a particular standard that you want your material tested to?

For rb1957:
We are looking at a range of under 2,000 lbs. The choice of the lab, was used as a descriptive word. Having a simple report in writing for our files for reference for comparison was the hope of having an outside sorce do the work.
For MintJulep:
This was the information I provided UL.
Product Service Description: UL CITS TEST ACME Poly Strapping 1640 GR6WP Per ASTM D 3950-09
Tensile Strength Test & Point Of Failure
Standard(s) & Edition Number for this evaluation: ASTM D 3950-09
and there was a total number of samples to be provided in the request for a quote. About a hundred dollars per pull seemed a bit high, but I have not requested this before either.
This will get me started which is what I needed.
Thanks again for your time and interest..
Best,
