How to choose between single-column and dual-column universal testing machines?
Single-column models (UP-2000A/2000B) are compact and ideal for tension, peeling and tearing tests of small-load materials within 5kN, such as films, tapes, paper, plastics and rubber. Dual-column models (UP-2003) feature stronger rigidity and wider load range (5kN–3000kN), suitable for tension, compression, bending and shearing tests of high-strength materials like metals, steel bars, concrete and geotextiles.
What tests can the UP-2000 series perform?
With different fixtures, it can conduct tension, peeling, tearing, compression, bending, shearing, bursting and puncture tests, suitable for plastics, rubber, textiles, paper, packaging and many other materials.
Which tensile tester is suitable for plastic and rubber testing?
UP-2000A single-column (0–5kN) is recommended for general plastics and rubber. For high-strength engineering plastics and compression/bending tests, choose UP-2003 dual-column for more stable data.
Can universal testing machines perform peeling tests for tapes and films? What fixtures are needed?
Yes. The UP-2000 series supports 90°/180° peeling tests with dedicated peeling fixtures, tape clamps and film tensile grips. For high-precision needs, a special peeling tester is available.
How to calibrate the accuracy of universal testing machines? What standards are complied with?
The machines comply with GB/T 16491, ISO 7500 and ASTM E4. Calibration is finished before delivery. Third-party metrological calibration is supported, using standard weights or force calibrators to ensure accurate and traceable data.
