Universal Testing Machine FAQs
What is a universal testing machine and what can it be used for?
How do I know which testing machine is right for my application?
The right testing machine depends on your material type, force requirements, and the standards you need to comply with (e.g., ASTM, ISO). Testometric offers a wide range of machines with force capacities from 1kN to 1,000kN, and our team provides expert guidance to match the correct model and configuration to your specific needs.
What materials can be tested with a Testometric universal testing machine?
Testometric machines are designed for maximum flexibility and can test plastics, rubbers, metals, composites, foams, fabrics, wires, wood, and more. We also provide industry-specific fixtures and extensometers to ensure accurate and standardised results.
What’s the difference between single column and twin column testing machines?
Single column machines are ideal for low-force applications (typically up to 5kN) and take up minimal space. Twin column machines offer higher rigidity and can accommodate higher forces, larger samples, or multiple test types — making them suitable for most commercial and industrial applications.
Can I customise the grips, fixtures, and accessories for my testing machine?
Yes. Testometric offers a vast range of grips, fixtures, extensometers, and load cells to meet the specific requirements of your test setup. We’ll help you configure the perfect combination for tensile, compression, flexural, peel, and shear tests.
What software comes with Testometric testing machines?
All machines include our powerful winTest Analysis software, which enables full control of test parameters, real-time graphing, automatic calculations, and easy export of results. The software supports multi-stage testing and complies with global testing standards.
Are Testometric testing machines compliant with international standards?
Absolutely. Testometric machines are built to meet and exceed major global testing standards including ASTM, ISO, BS, EN and others. This ensures consistent and repeatable test results recognised across industries.
What support and training does Testometric provide after purchase?
We offer full installation, training, calibration, and lifetime technical support. Whether you need help with setup, software operation, or adapting the machine for new materials, our expert engineers are always on hand to assist.
