1. Metal Testing Equipment
TestResources, Inc. is a materials test equipment manufacturer led by experienced
engineers, focused on helping customers solve their mechanical testing problems for
almost 20 years.
We value the delivery of responsive, affordable, and effective solutions that overcome the
challenges of static and fatigue testing applications. As test engineers that develop and
produce a wide range of test systems and accessories, we solve challenges ranging from
highly technical down to the basics.
Deflectometers
E3540 Deflectometer Deflection Gauge
Product Information
Model E3540
Force 50 g typical
Length 1 to 25 mm (and 0.05 to 1 in)
Temperature Standard (-ST) is -40 C to +100 C
Measures deformation in three and four point bend tests and in compression testing
applications. These strain gage based devices include a magnetic base for easy mounting.
Note: Optional connectors available to match your test machine.
Features & Benefits
Full bridge, 350 ohm strain gaged design for compatibility with any test system.
The strain gaged unit provides an electrical output compatible with electronics
designed for a strain gaged transducer (i.e. your test machine controller).
The magnetic base furnished with the gage can be mounted to the desired flat or
round reference surface. The tip is then positioned to measure the sample
deformation.
All standard units meet existing ASTM class B-2 and ISO 9513, class 0,5
requirements for accuracy.
General purpose deflection sensor covers many test requirements.
Spring loaded arm detaches preventing damage from overtravel.

2. Elevated Temperature Furnace
Product Information
Model F1000
Length - Configured to match test sample length and
test method requirements. The number and length of
each heated zone is made to match requirements.
Diameter - Internal Diameter: The furnace ID is
matched to fixture, sample size, and thermal density
requirements. Diameters of 50-125 mm (2 - 5 in) are
common.
Temperature - Max Various models from 500C (930F)
to 1200 C (2192 F) and Minimum Temp 150 C (300 F)
Features & Benefits
Each configuration includes high temperated rated furnace with ceramic elements
and a temperature control subsystem. Sample cooling is not typically associated
with these furnaces.
T200 Set point controller included in base package. When the desired temperature
is achieved, the temperature controller operates to hold set point values.
Programmable controller is optional.
Each chamber is application engineered to meet specific load frame column space
constraints, fixture and test sample space requirements, and maximum and
minimum temperature requirements.
Brushed stainless steel interior shell ensures long term robust and care free usage.
Heating time to reach maximum temperatures typically less than 30 minutes.
Tailored Solutions
TestResources’ innovative manufacturing methods combined with extensive engineering
experience allow us to focus on the application needs of every customer. We fit the test
machine to your budget and test requirements, rather than the other way around. By
pulling from our vast inventory of tester designs, controllers, and software packages our
engineers configure the best test equipment for your material type and form.
Next we assign a grips and fixtures specialist to design the best accessories for your
machine. With thousands of grips and fixtures available, we either have what you need or
we can quickly modify existing designs to get what you need. We work with the most
complex down to the simplest solutions for a wide range of customers.

3. Universal Testing Machines
Universal electromechanical test machines are well known for their ability to perform a
wide range of quasi-static tension and compression tests at test speeds up to 40 ipm (1000
mm/min). The modular 100 series low force universal test machines are configurable with
multiple frame types at forces to 2250 lb (10 kN). The 200 series single column frames are
available in extended travels at loads up to 1125 lb (5 kN). The 300 Series machines all
feature dual column frame design with load ratings up to 600 kn (135 kip).
120 Family Dual Column Electromechanical Universal Test Machine
120 Family Dual Column Electromechanical Universal
Test Machines are configured to your application at an
affordable price to match your budget. The 120 Family
performs quasi-static tests including tensile,
compression, creep and stress relaxation. This system is
the best for testing at lower forces up to 1 kN (225 lbs)
in repetitive test applications. The dual column design
provides increased space between columns for testing
large samples or inside chambers. With the
TestResources unique modular design, load frames can be configured to your test specimen
height and width requirements up to 40 inches in width.
210 Family Electromechanical Universal Test Machine
200 Series tabletop electromechanical universal test machines
serve applications with forces up to 5 kN (1125 lbf) including
models to handle relatively high elongation or crosshead travel
requirements. Materials with high elongation properties such as
rubber or elastomer, plastic thin film, medical devices (e.g.
catheters), glues and adhesives require special 200 series high
travel test machines. 200 Series machines are available with a
variety of test controller choices to cover a wide range of
interests and applications.
210 Family single column universal test machines are available with force ratings up to
1650 lbf (7 kN). The 210 includes a load cell and M controller with optional test software.
Optional accessories such as grips, fixtures, chambers and high travel extensometers are
matched to your test and sample geometries.
FEATURES & BENEFITS
Single column vertical load frame with
Standalone Controller and optional M Software.

4. Wide range of load cells to serve a variety of applications. Load cell accurate from
100 to 1 % of rating. Load accuracy +/- 0.5% of indicated load within load cell rated
force range.
200 samples per second data acquisition rate on load, position, and strain channels.
Wide range of compatible optional accessories including tensile grips, compression
and bend fixtures, environmental chambers, extensometers, etc.
12 month warranty and customer support services.
Budgeting
Creating a reasonable financial budget is a common necessity for our customers and we
have extensive experience supporting the process. Many customers need price estimates
for our test equipment to assess a rough return on investment. Although TestResources
equipment is generally the cost-effective choice, compared to other manufacturers or
contracting outside testing services, we are happy to offer a quick price check to help
determine the best option for you. We understand the purchasing process and are willing
to support your requests with responsive service.
Support comes in a variety of forms. We can help you determine a budget for purchases
near term or in settings such as capital equipment budgets for the next fiscal year. Even if
your project currently lacks the details, we are skilled in supporting realistic prices
anticipated for purchases over a year away.
