Hopedwell > Engineering, Construction & Inspection > Anchor Pull Out Test

Ensure legal compliance, structural integrity, and job site safety with our certified anchor load testing services.

What is Anchor Pull-Out Testing?

Anchor pull testing is a critical method used to verify the strength and reliability of industrial fixings. As a vital component of modern Health & Safety regulations, this test determines the maximum load capacity of installations such as anchor bolts, scaffold anchors, and safety lifelines.

OUR SERVICES

  • Provide Design Calculation of your anchor.
  • Supply and install of anchor.
  • Site Validation: Comprehensive on-site testing for wall anchors, lifelines, and scaffold ties with certified reporting.

Why Choose Us?

  • Testing by competent & experience inspectors.
  • Compliance to local & international standards.
  • Fast response and on-site testing capability.

Anchor pull-out testing is conducted in accordance with internationally recognized standards and manufacturer recommendations.

Common applicable standards include:

International Standards

  • ASTM E488 / E488M – Standard Test Methods for Strength of Anchors in Concrete and Masonry Elements
  • ASTM E1512 – Testing of anchors in tension and shear
  • EN 12504-3 – Testing of concrete (pull-out method)
  • ETAG 001 – Guideline for European Technical Approval of metal anchors
  • BS EN 795 – Personal fall protection systems (for lifeline anchors)

Testing Methodology

The Anchor Pull-Out Test is carried out using a hydraulic pull tester with calibrated load measurement equipment.

Step 1 – Anchor Identification

The installed anchor bolt or chemical anchor is identified and inspected for proper installation condition.

Step 2 – Equipment Setup

A hydraulic jack and reaction frame are installed over the anchor bolt. A calibrated load gauge or digital load cell is connected to measure the applied force.

Step 3 – Load Application

The load is gradually applied to the anchor bolt in tension according to the specified proof load requirement.

Step 4 – Monitoring

During the test, the following parameters are monitored:

  • Applied load
  • Anchor displacement
  • Concrete cracking (if any)
  • Anchor slippage

Step 5 – Acceptance Criteria

The anchor passes the test if:

  • The anchor withstands the required proof load
  • No excessive displacement or failure occurs

Step 6 – Reporting

A detailed test report will be issued containing:

  • Anchor identification and location
  • Type and size of anchor
  • Applied test load
  • Test results
  • Compliance status
  • Photographic evidence
