At Tinius Olsen we design and manufacture testing equipment to meet the needs of materials engineers, Quality managers and those engaged in research and education looking to determine the mechanical and physical strength of raw materials and finished components.
We have specialist engineers and technologists actively involved in the development of new test methods at ISO and ASTM standards organizations. We seek to work closely with our customers to provide solutions to their testing needs whether that is the tensile strength of rebar or the texture of ice cream, the puncture strength of a hypodermic needle or the melt flow rate of a polymer.
We have proven performance of successfully supplying materials testing equipment to perform tests in strict accordance with relevant international standards. If you are looking for credible testing equipment to quantify the strength and performance of Metals, Plastics, Rubber, Composites, Textiles, Packaging or Paper, Adhesives, Food products, or Components, then learn more about our capabilities by visiting out main website- www.TiniusOlsen.com |

Wood is a very complex anisotropic natural composite and, despite the long history of timber construction, the factors that govern its mechanical properties are still not well understood.
