Why Materials testing is Important

Materials testing is important because it allows companies to know what products they are selling and how well they meet their specific specifications. This information can help them make better decisions about production, marketing, and pricing. Additionally, materials testing can help companies find problems early and correct them.


The test to determine concrete compressive strength was conducted according to NZS 3112: Part 2: 1986 while the test to determine the tensile strength of reinforcing bars is conducted according to AS/NZS 4671.


Additionally, CSI is also able to determine the weld shear strength of mesh reinforcement, where the test is conducted according to BS EN ISO 15630-2.


When you want to experimentally determine the properties of concrete and steel reinforcing material from existing reinforced concrete structures, for example, because such specifications cannot be found or simply for quality assurance purposes.


There are different purposes for knowing the properties of concrete and steel reinforcing material in existing reinforced concrete structures. For example, to be used in design calculations for the structural upgrade, additional loading with significant intensities to be installed on the structures, or if there is concern about environmental effects on the original properties of the concrete and steel materials, such as chloride ingression to concrete or thermal exposure on steel reinforcement (i.e. in the event of fire).
