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 industrial 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 industrial robots, manufacturer of 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 industrial testing machines are appropriate since they have machine capacities ranging from 1 kN (200 lbf) to 75 kN (15,000 lbf).

Tensile Strength

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 manufacturer, tools and grips, extensometers, hi-res manufacturer of position transducers, and furnaces or environmen- tal chambers. Of course, no system is complete without data acquisition and analysis software suppliers; 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.
