Drop Weight Tear Tester (DWTT) Supplier for Nigeria
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 Nigeria. 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.
Nigeria's steel rolling mills, construction boom and oil and gas sector have made material testing a growing priority. SON has stepped up checks on reinforcement bars and building materials, and universities, polytechnics and private labs across Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt are upgrading their testing equipment. Every major pipeline project specifies DWTT results, which makes the test essential for pipe and plate suppliers.

DWTT Specimens & Machine Details
DWTT Applications in Nigeria
Our machines are used by steel rolling mills, oil and gas service companies, construction and cement producers, building material labs, universities and polytechnics. Typical Nigerian applications include:
Line-pipe mills
DWTT on API 5L pipe for gas and oil pipelines
Plate and coil producers
Fracture behaviour of pipeline-grade plate and strip
Pipeline projects
Material qualification for new transmission lines
Third-party testing labs
Independent DWTT for pipe buyers
Research institutes
Low-temperature fracture research
Steel qualification
Ductile-to-brittle transition studies with chilled specimens
Testing Standards Supported
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 Nigeria, product conformity is overseen by SON (Standards Organisation of Nigeria), and laboratories that issue accredited reports work under NiNAS (Nigeria National Accreditation Service). The touch-screen panel shows drop height, energy and speed for every test, which can be recorded on your test certificates.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you export drop weight tear testing machines to Nigeria?
Yes. MCS Mechatronic manufactures PLC-controlled DWTT machines in Kolhapur, India, and exports them to Nigeria through ports such as Apapa Port, Lagos and Tin Can Island Port, Lagos.
Which standards does the MCS DWTT meet?
It tests specimens according to ASTM E436, API RP 5L3, ASTM E208 and DIN EN 10274.
Which energy capacities are available?
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.
Can specimens be cooled before testing?
Yes. A deep freezer that cools specimens down to -80 °C and a hydraulic notch-making press are available as optional auxiliary equipment.
Do you provide documents for SONCAP clearance in Nigeria?
Imports into Nigeria go through the SONCAP conformity programme, which is handled by the importer. 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 SON or client records. We supply the technical datasheets and documents needed for the SONCAP process.
Can the machine run on the power supply used in Nigeria?
The supply voltage depends on the model. Nigeria's three-phase supply is 415 V at 50 Hz, so please mention your site voltage and frequency in your enquiry so we can confirm the right electrical configuration.
