The Tensile Tester, also known as a Universal Testing Machine (UTM), is designed to evaluate the mechanical properties of materials under tension, compression, and bending. It delivers precise force and displacement measurement through a high-resolution load cell, servo motor drive, and advanced control software.
Suitable for a wide range of industries, this tester ensures highly repeatable results for R&D, production QC, and material certification processes.

❓ FAQs
1. What load cell capacity should I choose?
• 500–1000N for films & paper
• 1–2 kN for plastics
• 5 kN for harder materials
2. Can this test more than tensile?
Yes—compression, bending, tearing, and peel (with the right fixtures).
3. Does it require software?
The built-in screen is enough for basic tests, but software is recommended for full data analysis.
4. How often is calibration needed?
Typically once a year or after load cell replacement.
