The dual column materials testing machines have frame capacities of 10kN, 25kN and 50kN (2000 lbf, 5,000 lbf and 10,000lbf) and include two model types, the S series and the T series. These machines are designed to test a wide range of materials in tension, compression, flexure, shear and peel.The S and T series use rapid change Z beam loadcells that allow for simple and quick 'sizing' of the machine to an appropriate capacity for the test. These loadcells have an accuracy of 0.5% of the applied load value, from 2% to 100% of the loadcell capacity. The S and T series have a huge assortment of specimen grips and fixtures available, allowing the selection of an ideal grip for your application.
