This load range is a strong fit for low- to mid-force material testing across a wide mix of specimen types. It is well suited for rubber and elastomers, plastic films, engineering plastics, reinforced composites, thin sheet metal, wire, soft metals, adhesives, foam, paper-based materials, wood products, textiles, biomaterials, and small components. It can also be configured for many high-strength alloys and prepreg applications when the specimen and force requirement fall within the selected setup.

The right match depends on the actual break force, specimen geometry, elongation, and the grips or fixtures needed for the method. Very delicate samples may be better served by a lower-capacity frame, while heavier metal sections or higher-force structural work usually call for a larger system. For application-specific setups, we also offer grips and fixtures for tensile, compression, flexural, peel, and related tests.
