The ESM1500 and ESM 750 are highly configurable single-column force testers for tension and compression measurement applications with capacities of 1,500lbf (6.7kN) and 750lbf (3.4kN).Suitable for laboratory and production environments apart from break testing, cycling, limit testing to a load or distance, loadholding, elongation testing, tensile testing, compression testing, and more. The available FollowMe® facilitates crosshead positioning for sample setup. Hand guided push/pull on the load moves the crosshead at a dynamically variable speed. The stands feature a unique modular controller function platform. Functions such as travel measurement, cycling, etc. are offered individually, accommodating a wide range of budgets and applications.Force and travel data can be output to a PC for graphic and analysis using MESUR™gauge software, or fully control the stand by PC through a custom-written program in any language supporting ASCll communications.
United High Capacity Smart Universal Hydraulic Floor Model DFM tension and compression testing machines with computer control are available with capacities from 300 kN (67,500 lbf) to 2,000 kN (450,000 lbf). Available with extended columns. United 'SMART' Testing Machines meet the requirements of ASTM E-8, ASTM E-9 and ASTM E-83.
Two words best describe the benefits afforded by United\'s multi-station testing systems: HIGH PRODUCTIVITY. Test up to six samples at once for the cost of about two stand-alone units.
Vickers method is based on an optical measurement system, it specifies a range of light loads using a diamond.
The ESM 303 Motorized Force Measurement Test Stands are a versatile and precise testing solution for most tension and compression testing applications up to 300 lbf. (1.5 kN) for laboratory and production environments. The Test Stands can perform a wide variety of tests, including break testing, cycling, limit testing to a load distance and more. Speed is adjustable in up and down directions and a remote control unit provides added safety during testing. Other features include a manual fine adjustment knob and a stepper motor that prevents speed variation with load, making testing precise and repeatable. Use this Test Stand with any Mark-10 Force Gauge and grips to create a complete testing solution.
United's Load Cells are designed to precisely measure the amount of force (load) applied to the specimen being tested. Available in single or dual bridge, United load cells offer the flexibility of using two readouts simultaneously, if desired. Constructed to meet ASTM E-4 requirements.
United SFM Smart Electro-Mechanical Universal Floor Models are the logical choice when maximum crosshead travel and load frame capacity are required. The United SFM Models SFM Universal Testing Machines offer a choice of five standard load frame capacities ranging from 1,000 lbf (4.45 kN) to 135,000 lbf (600 kN).Testing can be done in tension and/or compression. United 'SMART' Testing Machines meet the requirements of ASTM E-8, ASTM E-9 and ASTM E-83.
Servo-Controlled Hydraulic Floor Model 2000 kN (450,000 lbf). United SHFM 1000 and SHFM 2000  kN Hydraulic Testing Machines have four columns and test in Tension or Compression (Universal). The SHFM Hydraulic testing systems are fully accessorized and include the following at no additional cost: Hydraulic Grips with inserts for both flat flat and round test specimens, Flex Fixture and Compression Plates. United 'SMART' Testing Machines meet the requirements of ASTM E-8, ASTM E-9 and ASTM E-83.
The United Digital Speedy Tester Model LCH-10 - 50 kN,  LCH-20 - 100kN, LCH-30 - 150kN and LCH-60 - 300 kN are hydraulic testing machines incorporating a highly accurate, built-in digital information system for the display of test data. Designed to perform a variety of tests, the versatile, easy-to-use Speedy Tester can be fitted with various types of grips and fixtures to accommodate a wide range of materials and applications. The Speedy is a Tension Tester, outfitted with a compression cage it can also perform compression tests.
The TSFM-DC is a Motorized Force Test Stand designed for tension and compression testing of springs, packaging, metals, fabrics and other items requiring up to 500 lbf (2,200 N) of force. Generous clearance and throat depth accommodate a broad range of sample shapes and sizes. The durable and rigid column minimizes bend, making it particularly well suited for spring testing. Use this Test Stand with any Mark-10 Force Gauge and grips to create your complete testing solution.
Series 7 professional Digital Force Gauges are designed with a number of sophisticated features for the most demanding tension and compression measurement applications, up to 500 lbf (2500 N). The Force Gauges feature ±0.1% accuracy and a blazingly fast, industry-leading sampling rate of 14,000 Hz, producing reliable results for extremely quick-action tests.
The United TRU-BLUE Rockwell Hardness Tester is computer controlled (closed loop) application of forces are via load cell measurement. The Tester has a 4 x 20 bright vacuum fluorescent display. Front panel controls with Piezo-Electric switches. Auto self-test and last test setup recall at startup. Removable parts clamp used to secure irregular shaped or oversize test specimens. Logical setup and operating menu from front panel keys. Throat depth is 5.5 inches. Optional 9.5 inch throat depth is available.
