Model 5ST – Universal Testing Machine – Plastic and polymer

Imagine a powerful machine that can stretch, squeeze, and bend plastic materials to reveal their hidden strengths and limits. The Universal Testing Machine (UTM) 5ST helps manufacturers understand exactly how plastic materials will behave under different forces and conditions. It applies controlled forces to test specimens, providing critical insights into material strength, elasticity, elongation, and failure characteristics. By delivering comprehensive mechanical property analysis, the UTM 5ST plays a crucial role in material research, quality control, and innovation across diverse applications in the automotive, packaging, medical, and consumer goods industries.
