Machines and appliances for testing the hardness, strength, compressibility, elasticity or other mechanical properties of metals, such as universal testing machines and hardness testers.

Heavy frames need crating with oil protection on screws; include load cell calibration, capacity (kN) and power requirements. Measuring instruments are precision goods: provide calibration certificates traceable to national standards, accuracy specifications and operating manuals, and pack in foam-lined cases with desiccant to protect sensors from shock and humidity.
