Specialized Test Equipment

Instron offers a variety of equipment designed to meet specific testing applications.

RD Models - Compression Only
Capacities: 2,000 kN to 4,500 kN (400,000 lbf to 1,000,000 lbf). Ideally suited for advanced concrete compression testing where frame stiffness is critical.
M3 Machine - Creep and stress rupture tester for long term testing
Capacities: Up to 3,000 kg (6,000 lbf). Long-term creep and stress rupture testers for testing applications of metallic materials.
SATEC Series Horizontal Frames
Capacities: Up to 10 MN (2.25 million lbf). Feature a horizontal test space to accommodate extra long test specimens.
R.R. Moore - Rotating Beam Fatigue Test System Capacities: 25 kg-cm to 230 kg-cm (20 in-lb to 200 in-lb). Rotating beam fatigue tester that rotates each specimen through an average of 9,999 complete stress cycles per minute.
Microtester
Applications involving small specimens and very precise displacements
Pipe and Pressure Testing: 3800 Series Slow Crack Growth Testers

3800 Series Slow Crack Growth Testers*
Measuring resistance to slow crack growth under a tensile load according to ASTM F 1473 (PENT).

Capacity: 0.05 N to 100 kN (0.2 ozf to 22,000 lbf). Cost-effective spring tester designed for load testing all types of coil springs, disc springs, wave springs, leaf springs and spring-type components.
Torsion Testers
Instruments providing controlled continuous loading in both directions of rotation for both torsion only and axial-torsion testing.

* 3800 Series Slow Crack Growth Testers available only in the United States and Canada
