Dear colleagues,

I am seeking information on the availability of mechanical testing facilities for ceramic samples with the following dimensions in India:

Disc-shaped samples: Diameter ranging from 14 mm to 10 mm, with a thickness of 3 mm to 1.5 mm.

Bar-shaped samples: Length ranging from 15 mm to 10 mm, with a cross-section of 3 mm × 3 mm.

Specifically, I am interested in confirming whether facilities are available for the following mechanical tests:

Biaxial Flexural Strength (BFS) testing – for the disc-shaped samples.

Diametral Tensile Strength (DTS) testing – for the disc-shaped samples.

Three-Point Bending test – for the bar-shaped samples.

If any research groups, laboratories, or institutions offer these testing services, I would greatly appreciate to reach out to me on my contact details:
