Universal Testing Machines (UTM)

Tinius Olsen is the leading specialist manufacturer and supplier of static tension and/or compression materials testing machines. Our machines are designed for use in research departments and quality control departments to measure the strength and product performance of materials. Using Tinius Olsen equipment it is possible to perform such tests on raw materials such as metals, polymers, textiles, rubbers, adhesives and food as well as finished components. 

The series of electromechanical testing machines from Tinius Olsen is designed to test a wide range of materials, including, but not limited to: plastics, films, paper, packaging materials, filter material, adhesives, foils, food, toys, medical devices and components, in tension, compression, flexure, shear, and peel.

All ST series machines can be used with selection of hand-held interfaces or a virtual machine interface running on a connected PC. Tinius Olsen's Horizon software can be added to your system to provide a library of standardised test routines, generate a complete graphical result of your test, and perform sophisticated powerful analyses on the test data to produce the test reports you need.

A comprehensive selection of self-identifying loadcells, grips and fixtures to hold the simplest to most complex specimen profile, strain measurement instruments that employ several different technologies, temperature chambers, and more can be used in conjunction with these test frames. Add Tinius Olsen's powerful Horizon software to ensure you have one of the best, most accurate, most repeatable, flexible and easy-to-use systems on the market today.

Tinius Olsen’s hydraulic testers have long been recognized as the standard for accuracy, dependability, and versatility in universal testing machines. The many thousands of testers currently in use throughout the world attest to this fact.

Now more than ever, the SL series represents the highest standard in hydraulically powered universal testing machines.

It features a patented dual-pressure hydraulic loading system and a rugged four-column construction for exceptional load frame rigidity. In addition, it has a space-saving console with a smaller footprint and comfortable working height design.

A range of user interface options are available, including Bluetooth and/or tethered interfaces, to enable basic tests, comprehensive tests and everything in between, through Tinius Olsen’s Horizon materials testing software.
