Materials Testing Attachments

Measure the mechanical properties of materials with our comprehensive range of testing probes and attachments.

Multi-head indexing probe for testing adhesives

A selection of special attachments and typical measurements which are commonly used in materials testing are shown, although this does not necessarily include the complete range available for the testing of materials. Test procedures include: compression, puncture / penetration, tension, fracture / bending, extrusion, cutting / shearing.

High force and extended height models of instrument such as the TA.XTplus100C and TA.HDplusC are generally more suited to the materials testing applications.

Shore Hardness probe

Shore Hardness Probes
(A & D)

Shore durometers are used in conjunction with Shore refernce tables to determine indentation hardness of materials by using a measurement of resistance to deformation.
