Universal Materials Testing Machines
The universal materials testers manufactured by Thwing-Albert are powerful tensile testers with the flexibility to perform a wide range of tests including tensile, flexural, compression, peel, tear, friction, cycling and modulus. We offer models from 1kN to 5kN capacity with single column and dual column frames.
Tensile Strength can be defined as the ultimate strength of a material subjected to tensile loading. It is the maximum stress developed in a material during a tensile test.
