FORNEY UNIVERSAL TESTING MACHINES

Forney universal testing machines allow you to test a wide array of specimens with a capacity of 20,000 – 850,000lbf. in tension or 30,000 – 1,500,000lbf. in compression.

  • Manual, Automatic, Closed Loop or Connected Control
  • Backed by the best technical support team in the industry
  • Extra rigid frame that exceeds ASTM and ACI specifications
  • Test cementitious and metallic materials like briquettes, cubes, cylinders, rebar, rebar with joints or T-Caps, and bolts, as well as other non-cementitious and non-metallic materials
  • Test in tension or compression
  • Test capable for: Modulus of Elasticity/Poisson’s Ratio, Proppant Crush Resistance, and Tensile Splitting tests
  • Measure force, displacement, velocity and strain.
