The 300ST is built for testing the tensile, compressive, flexural, and shear strength of both materials and assemblies. Its sturdy construction incorporates premium materials and components to support consistent system performance, user-friendly operation, and long-term durability.
A selection of loadcells with varying capacities ensures accurate load measurements—from small specimens up to the machine’s full capacity. When combined with grips, strain measurement instruments, and Tinius Olsen’s Horizon software, the machine becomes a fully integrated testing solution.
