 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 |

 The stabilometer was originally developed by the California Division of Highways to measure the combined effects of frequent traffic loads, repeated over a long period of time, on a given bituminous mix.
Test results are used to determine the maximum amount of bituminous binder which can be used without causing instability. This application is developed around the accepted standard “Method For Determining The Resistance “R” Value Of Treated And Untreated Bases, Subbases and Basement Soils using the Hveem Stabilometer” typically used by Departments of Transportation and suppliers of road surfaces. The stabilometer is a triaxial testing device used to determine the stability of bituminous paving mixtures, soils and other plastic or semi-plastic materials. |

A Scottish friend tells me that in Glasgow if you order a meat pie from a chip shop it will be deep fried like fish and chips. Furthermore a local delicacy is a famous chocolate bar coated in batter and deep fried. It comes as no surprise therefore that some parts of Scotland have high levels of heart disease. |

 One of the most widely used medical devices is the contact lens worn by millions of people daily.
The material science and technology in such a small device is amazing in the form of soft and hard lens with varying degrees of air permeability.Performing a strength and elastic stretch test on such a device is challenging, the lens must be held to prevent slippage during the test but not to cause fracture or damage, ambient conditions need to be managed simulating conditions of use. Tinius Olsen Has the expertise having successfully supplied strength test systems to contact lens manufacturers. |

The Construction Industry has traditionally had a poor safety record. This is now changing and new regulations have been introduced to help prevent accidents. One of these is a requirement for scaffolding safety netting. This is to prevent a worker falling through the gaps in scaffolding. |
