or choosingfrom a database of over 1400 commonly usedstandards, we have the software for your needs.For those applications that require a larger testing area, faster testspeed, or longer test stroke than can be achieved on a hydraulic
testing machine, Tinius Olsen also has a range of high force electromechanical testers, with capacities of 100
kN (22,000 lbf), 150 kN (30,000 lbf), 200 kN (45,000 lbf), and 300 kN (60,000 lbf). These can
also use the same accessories and software to
complete the test system.Tinius Olsen has taken this one step farther andhas developed a series of horizontal tensile testers
than can be fully automated with loading and
unloading robots, barcode readers, specimen
racks, dimensional gauging stations, and other
non-destructive testing stations. The results fromthese precision testing systems can also be integrated into ERP systems, meaning that once specimen racks are loaded, the system
can operate, giving shipping departments quality certificates and
pass/fail data, without any operator intervention.The quality and robustness of these proven testmachines is borne out by decades of daily use.
While the test frames last for many years, the control and measurement electronics are subject to
constant technological advancement. To this end,
Tinius Olsen has a complete series of retrofit and
upgrade packages available to suit the thousands
of Tinius Olsen and competitive test frames already
in daily use.The above detail outlines Tinius Olsen's productoffering for large metal specimens, testing for tensile strength, flexural strength, shear strength, and all the physical
parameters associated with these types of tests, but perhaps the
most popular application we are asked about is the testing of small
sheet steel specimens. For this application, our popular benchtop
testing machines are appropriate since they have machine capacities
ranging from 1 kN (200 lbf) to 75 kN (15,000 lbf).

Tinius Olsen's line of versatile hydraulic testingmachines can perform a diversity of materials test
routines that meet ASTM, ISO and other interna-
tional testing specifications, including tensile, compressive, flexural, and shear tests. These
machines are available at seven standard load tier
points, namely, 150 kN (30,000 lbf), 300 kN (60,000
lbf), 600 kN (120,000 lbf), 1,000 kN (200,000 lbf),
1,500 kN (300,000 lbf), 2,000 kN (400,000 lbf), and
3,000 kN (600,000 lbf).These machines are highly customizable and can be tailored toyour individual needs with extended columns and leadscrews (for
larger, flexible testing spaces), closed, semi-open, or fully open
crossheads (to allow for quicker and easier specimen orientation,loading and unloading), gripping options for
crosshead pocket grips, a wide selection of load
cells, tools and grips,
extensometers, hi-res position transducers, and furnaces or environmen-
tal chambers. Of course, no system is complete without data acquisition and analysis software; you
can choose from several software platforms so that
your unique needs are perfectly met. Whether it is
complex, sophisticated, scalable machine and test control generating unique results
Tinius Olsen isone of the world’s foremostmanufacturers ofmaterials testingmachines and hasbeen designing andbuilding thesemachines forQuality Control,education, and R&Duse since 1880.
