Proof Load Testing and Break Load Testing are critical procedures in industries where the integrity and safety of lifting and load-bearing equipment are paramount. Krishdhan Fabtech Pvt Ltd offers these testing services, especially for heavy-duty applications up to 1200 tonnes. Here’s an in-depth look at these testing methods:

1. Proof Load Testing

Proof load testing is a non-destructive test that involves applying a specified load to a piece of equipment or structure to ensure it can perform its intended function safely under operational conditions. This test does not cause permanent deformation or damage to the equipment, but rather verifies its capacity.

• Purpose: The main aim of proof load testing is to validate the structural integrity and safety of the equipment. It ensures that the equipment can handle its maximum rated load without any risk of failure.
• Procedure: During proof load testing, a load (typically a percentage higher than the maximum operational load) is gradually applied to the equipment. The load is held for a specified period, and the equipment is inspected for any signs of distress, deformation, or failure.
• Applications: Proof load testing is commonly used for cranes, hoists, lifting beams, shackles, and other load-bearing components. It is essential in industries like construction, shipping, and manufacturing.

2. Break Load Testing

Break load testing, on the other hand, is a destructive test that determines the actual load at which a component fails. This test is crucial for understanding the ultimate strength of the material or equipment.

• Purpose: The primary objective of break load testing is to find the breaking point or the maximum load a piece of equipment can withstand before it fails. This helps in understanding the safety margin and the true capacity of the equipment.
• Procedure: In break load testing, the load is applied incrementally until the equipment or material reaches its breaking point. The test is usually conducted under controlled conditions, and the results are used to analyze the performance and durability of the equipment.
• Applications: Break load testing is essential in the design and quality assurance phases of manufacturing, especially for components like chains, ropes, slings, and structural elements in critical applications.
