The Cost of Inadequate Testing
Why leading aerospace, automotive, and industrial labs specify Testometric for mission-critical applications
A 1% error in tensile test results for aerospace composites can invalidate entire batch certifications. ASTM E4 Class 0.5 accuracy (±0.5% of reading) is the minimum for structural components—anything less risks regulatory rejection.
Medical device manufacturers lose ₹80 lakhs-₹2 crores annually due to failed FDA audits from inadequate tensile testing. Suture and catheter failures traced to ±2% test equipment accuracy—Testometric's ±0.5% prevents these costly rejections.
Automotive seat belt webbing requires 24.5kN minimum breaking strength. A UTM with insufficient rigidity can show 26kN when actual strength is 23kN—resulting in recalls costing ₹50-100 crores. Testometric's dual-column design eliminates frame deflection.

"Test equipment accuracy directly impacts production certification. When international auditors and OEMs review your data, precision testing systems eliminate questions and delays."
Technical Questions
How does the XFS 500kN compare to Instron 5980 series?
Both systems meet ISO 7500-1 Class 0.5 standards. The XFS 500kN uses AC servo drive technology and offers comparable accuracy at 0.5%. Key difference is UK manufacturing heritage since 1970 versus US production. Indian manufacturers typically report lower service costs with UK systems due to established regional support infrastructure.
What distinguishes Testometric from Zwick Roell testing machines?
Testometric and Zwick Roell both manufacture in Europe with similar accuracy specifications. The XFS series uses AC servo drives; Zwick systems vary by model. Both meet international calibration standards. Decision typically depends on existing lab infrastructure and regional service partnerships.
Is the XFS 500kN suitable for heavy industrial testing?
Yes. ISO 7500-1 Class 0.5 certification meets heavy industrial testing requirements. Used by manufacturers for high-strength materials, structural components, and demanding applications. International standards accept data from properly calibrated ISO-certified systems regardless of manufacturer.
What is the typical calibration cycle for 500kN systems?
Annual calibration per ISO 7500-1 standards. Some manufacturers require six-month intervals for critical applications. Calibration duration is 2-3 days including documentation. Regional accredited calibration labs service Testometric equipment across India.
