Choose the scope

Start from the question, not the tool

The method, preparation route and reporting depth depend on what you need to decide.

Single-condition measurement

density, transport, rheological, dimensional, moisture, or other bulk physical properties

Best used when
density, transport, rheological, dimensional, moisture, or other bulk physical properties
Typical result
Measured property values
Preparation note
Confirm dimensions, cutting permission and whether the original geometry must be preserved.

Common outputs

A result package matched to the decision you need to make

Fields, conditions, processing and file formats are confirmed before work begins.

StandardMeasured property values

Measured property values reported with the agreed units, sample reference and measurement conditions.

StandardCondition-dependent curves

Condition-dependent curves supplied in a labelled format suitable for direct sample or condition comparison.

OptionalMethod, uncertainty, and comparison notes

Method, uncertainty, and comparison notes provided with the processing basis and quality checks agreed during technical review.

OptionalDistribution or profile

Distribution or profile included when selected in the confirmed reporting scope.

Sample requirements

What to provide before work begins

Provide representative, clearly labelled samples and identify the decision, feature or comparison that matters.

Suitable sampleSubmission requirementPlanning note
Solid / componentProvide a clean, stable and clearly labelled specimen with the target face or region identified.Confirm dimensions, cutting permission and whether the original geometry must be preserved.

Objective: state the decision, comparison or acceptance criterion the work must support.

Handling and access: declare hazards, instability, confidentiality, file constraints or special logistics before dispatch or transfer.

Questions and answers

Common planning decisions

Short answers to issues that can change preparation, scope, timing or interpretation.

What should I send for Rheological Testing (Rheology)?

Provide solid / component as applicable. Exact quantity, dimensions and preparation are confirmed during technical review.

Which scope should I choose?

Choose the scope that matches the decision, comparison and reporting depth you need; TESTDOG confirms the final route after technical review.

What will I receive?

Typical outputs include measured property values, condition-dependent curves, method, uncertainty, and comparison notes. Final files follow the confirmed reporting scope.

How long will it take?

Typical turnaround is 6 working days after sample acceptance and method confirmation.
