Standards, Fixtures, and Equipment in One Working System.
Use this hub to move from standard selection to real lab execution. Browse ISO and ASTM guides, compare application pathways, and connect them to Testometric universal testing machines, grips, extensometers, software, and support.
Core Navigation
International Testing Standards
Start with the primary standards hubs, then branch into application references, knowledge resources, and equipment selection.
ISO Standards
A structured route through international material-testing methods used for plastics, rubber, films, packaging, and product qualification. Start here for ISO 527, ISO 178, ISO 37, ISO 527-3, and related method guides.
ASTM Standards
A direct path into ASTM methods used across production QA, validation, and industrial material comparison.
Case Studies
See how material-testing systems are deployed in real laboratory and product-development environments.
Knowledge Centre
Browse broader technical guidance covering methods, barrier testing, applications, and standards context.
Testometric UTMs
Match standards guidance with UTM frames, grips, extensometers, chambers, and software built for compliant execution.
Quick Access
Featured Standards Guides
Fast entry points for some of the most frequently consulted tensile, flexural, compression, and thin-film methods.
Tensile Properties of Plastics
A core plastics tensile method covering specimen types, modulus, yield, elongation, and reporting structure.
Flexural Properties of Plastics
Use this guide when support span, deflection rate, and flexural modulus evaluation are central to the test setup.
Compression Testing of Rubber
A practical ASTM route for platen compression work where alignment, thickness control, and deflection matter.
Tensile Testing of Vulcanized Rubber
Reference guidance for dumbbell selection, gripping behavior, and elongation measurement in rubber tensile work.
Tensile Properties of Films and Sheets
A film-focused method for thin plastic materials where gripping, thickness, and extensibility change the test strategy.
Tensile Testing of Thin Plastic Sheeting
ASTM guidance for film and sheet tensile work where jaw design, extension rate, and thin-material handling are critical.
Why FITCO
A Better Standards Workflow, Not Just a Machine Quote.
FITCO supports the full path from method identification and fixture selection to commissioning, training, and calibration.
Standards Guidance That Connects to Real Fixtures
Choose the right frame, grips, extensometer, and test method with guidance that ties directly to ISO and ASTM execution rather than staying abstract.
Configured Around the Material and the Throughput
From plastics and rubber to films and packaging, FITCO helps configure the machine stack around what the lab must measure every day.
Installation, Training, Calibration, and Long-Term Reliability
The value is not only in machine specification. It is in keeping the method stable, the operators confident, and the output audit-ready over time.
