Mechanical Testing: Instron Model 1125 Universal Testing Machine with updated electronic controls by Instru-Met at AME

At Anderson Materials Evaluation, we provide comprehensive mechanical testing services using our state-of-the-art Instron Model 1125 Universal Testing Machine. With updated electronic controls, we ensure precise and reliable test results for various mechanical properties.


Our Mechanical Testing Capabilities:

  • Tensile Testing: We conduct tensile testing with load cells of 20,000 pounds, 10,000 pounds, 1,000 pounds, 200 pounds, and 2 kg.
  • Compression Testing: Our compression testing services utilize 20,000-pound and 10,000-pound load cells.
  • Bend Testing: We offer both 3-point and 4-point bending tests to evaluate flexural strength.
  • Lapshear Testing: We assess the shear strength of materials.
  • Flexural Strength: We measure the flexural strength of various materials.
  • Fatigue, Stress, and Creep Rupture: We analyze materials under cyclic loading and long-term stress.
  • Peel Testing: We evaluate the peel strength of adhesives.
  • Controlled Testing: We control head speed, load rate, or strain rate to meet specific testing requirements.
