Mechanical testing — BIS standards & key tests
All machines are NABL-calibrated and designed for compliance with relevant IS, ASTM, and ISO standards.
NABL calibration ensures that the testing equipment provides accurate, traceable, and reliable results, which is critical for R&D, quality control, and meeting regulatory requirements.
BIS compliance is essential for many products manufactured or sold in India. Our machines are built to perform tests according to specific Indian Standards (IS), such as:
Using NABL-calibrated, IS-compliant equipment is necessary to certify that your materials and products meet applicable quality and safety requirements.
A Universal Testing Machine (UTM) is a versatile mechanical testing machine designed to test the mechanical properties of materials by applying controlled forces in tension, compression, or bending/flexure.
UTMs are used for quality control and R&D across industries working with metals, plastics, polymers, composites, textiles, and construction materials.
