Test Type: Tensile, Round Quantity: 60 Test Spec: ASTM E8Material: Various Material Hardness and 7 more items

Westmoreland Mechanical Testing & Research Inc. was awarded a contract by the University of Virginia on September 18, 2026, with a cumulative value of $29,450.00. The contract encompasses mechanical testing services on various materials in accordance with American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards. The scope of work includes tensile testing of round specimens (60 units at ASTM E8 standard and 30 units at ASTM E8 standard with full stress-strain analysis), tensile testing of round specimens at elevated temperatures (30 units at ASTM E21 standard with full stress-strain analysis), and compression testing of round specimens (20 units and 40 units at ASTM E9 standard). The contract is located in Virginia.

The deliverables under this award also include engineering support and reporting services (24 units), electronic data delivery (120 units), and inspection and processing of pre-machined specimens (60 units). All deliverables are to be provided to Jamia L Nixon. The testing services appear to support materials characterization efforts at the University of Virginia, with pricing structures varying based on test complexity and specification requirements, ranging from $10 per unit for electronic data to $230 per unit for comprehensive tensile testing with full stress-strain analysis.
