MCS Mechatronic has built drop weight tear testers in Kolhapur, India, since 1999, and supplies PLC-controlled DWTT machines to line-pipe mills, plate producers and pipeline testing labs in Egypt. The DWTT shows whether pipeline steel fractures in a ductile or brittle way at a given temperature, a key acceptance test for gas and oil pipelines.
Egypt has one of Africa's largest steel and construction sectors, with rebar mills, cement plants and new industrial zones around Cairo, Alexandria and the Suez Canal Economic Zone. Mega-projects, a growing automotive components base and expanding oil and gas activity all depend on materials that are tested before use. Every major pipeline project specifies DWTT results, which makes the test essential for pipe and plate suppliers.
Three automatic models with hydraulic shock absorbers cover standard and heavy-wall pipe.

Our machines are used by steel rebar mills, cement and construction material producers, automotive component makers, oil and gas suppliers, engineering universities and testing laboratories. Typical Egyptian applications include:
DWTT on API 5L pipe for gas and oil pipelines
Fracture behaviour of pipeline-grade plate and strip
Material qualification for new transmission lines
Independent DWTT for pipe buyers
Low-temperature fracture research
Ductile-to-brittle transition studies with chilled specimens
MCS DWTT machines test specimens to ASTM E436, API RP 5L3, ASTM E208 and DIN EN 10274, the methods specified for line pipe and pipeline steel.
In Egypt, product conformity is overseen by EOS (Egyptian Organization for Standardization and Quality), and laboratories that issue accredited reports work under EGAC (Egyptian Accreditation Council). The touch-screen panel shows drop height, energy and speed for every test, which can be recorded on your test certificates.
We supply drop weight tear testing machines to industrial cities and project sites across Egypt, including:
Machines are packed in seaworthy export cases and shipped from India to Alexandria Port, Port Said and Sokhna Port.
Commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and the machine's calibration certificate are supplied with every shipment.
Online operator training on the machine and its software, with remote technical support from our team in India.
Yes. MCS Mechatronic manufactures PLC-controlled DWTT machines in Kolhapur, India, and exports them to Egypt through ports such as Alexandria Port and Port Said.
It tests specimens according to ASTM E436, API RP 5L3, ASTM E208 and DIN EN 10274.
Automatic PLC-controlled models are offered at 30,000 J, 55,000 J and 80,000 J. The right capacity depends on your pipe wall thickness and grade.
Yes. A deep freezer that cools specimens down to -80 °C and a hydraulic notch-making press are available as optional auxiliary equipment.
Egyptian standards issued by EOS largely follow ISO methods. MCS DWTT machines test to ASTM E436, API RP 5L3, ASTM E208 and DIN EN 10274, and the drop height, energy and speed of each test can be recorded for your EOS or client records. We supply the technical documents your importer needs for registration and customs clearance.
The supply voltage depends on the model. Egypt's three-phase supply is 380 V at 50 Hz, so please mention your site voltage and frequency in your enquiry so we can confirm the right electrical configuration.
Tell us the pipe grades, wall thickness and test temperatures, and we will recommend the right DWTT model.
