Lab Master Stress-Strain Tester

For the precise determination of tensile and compression testing of resilient materials - rubber & plastics. Generates thousands of data points for showing the precise behaviour of materials and drawing curves. Access to setting of test parameters and results via TFT flat panel touch screen

The Lab Master Stress-Strain Tester provides precise, repeatable measurement of resilient materials with 0.1 gram force resolution and 0.02% full-scale accuracy.

Position is measured to 0.01 µm resolution and 0.02 µm repeatability. Thousands of data points per test are used to generate force/distance curves that reveal material behaviour during test.
