Tensile and compressive strengths of materials are very well documented, however these values do not always translate into how a knitted wire mesh, or mesh component, will perform in terms of elastic and plastic deformation characteristics.

Therefore KnitMesh Technologies has invested in several tensile and compression testing machines to analyse how their knitted meshes and processed materials and components behave when external forces are directly applied.

As well as supporting customer product development by assisting the optimisation of product performance, quality and value; the equipment is used in various research projects including the Neural Network investigation.
