This universal testing machine is typically used for medium to large metallic specimens and high-load metal components where you need controlled tensile and compression force, such as production QA rebar verification, fastener proof testing, and strength characterization of heavy-section steel products.

Common metallic materials and product forms include carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steels, iron-base materials, and other high-strength alloys, supplied as plate, heavy-gauge sheet, billet, bar, rod, wire, tube, and pipe sections.

Typical components and assemblies tested on this frame include:

• Reinforcing steel, including rebar and threaded bar
• Bolts, nuts, studs, anchor bolts, and mechanical couplings
• Wires, cables, chains, anchoring hardware, and lifting connectors
• Welded joints and welded plate specimens, including HAZ-focused samples
• Cast and forged parts, brackets, housings, fittings, rail sections, and other structural elements
• Compression blocks, load-bearing plates, and die-forged elements

Exact fit and testability depend on specimen geometry and the grips and compression fixtures selected. For help matching your parts to the right configuration, use learn more or request a quote.
