Spectrophotometer TP900
A color spectrophotometer TP900 is a tool used to study physical samples by reading their full-spectrum color response. It gives more freedom than a colorimeter because it works with different illuminant and observer settings and can function in different geometric setups.
With the D/8 optical layout suggested by CIE, the instrument captures SCI and SCE reflectance data from a sample. It shows major color difference formulas and color indexes across many color spaces with precise output.
The instrument fulfills the standards set by CIE No.15, GB/T 3978, GB 2893, GB/T 18833, 1507724/1, ASTM E1164, and DIN 5033 Teil 7.

UTM Machine – zeus ultimo 3
Presto Stantest Universal Testing Machine (UTM) is a load-testing instrument that pulls or pushes a sample to measure its strength. The word "universal" is there for a reason — the same machine handles tension, compression, bending, peeling and shear, depending on the grip and fixture you fit to it.
Most people use it for tensile tests, where a specimen is gripped at both ends and slowly pulled apart. The force needed to break the sample tells you its strength, and the amount it stretches before breaking tells you about its flexibility. That is why the equipment is also known as a Universal Tensile Tester or a Universal tensile strength tester — the tensile test is its most common job.
In short, if you want one honest answer to "how strong is this material?", a tensile testing machine of this kind is the tool that gives it.

Tensile Testing Machine Digital
It is highly recommended for evaluating the tensile strength of products and materials. The equipment is based on the Constant Rate of Traverse (CRT) principle. It is equipped with an upper jaw and a lower jaw. Universal Tensile Testing Machine is a reliable piece of equipment which is widely used for checking tensile strength of a product/sample. One of the most common mechanical testing techniques used to determine tensile strength, this is a method wherein controlled tension is applied to a sample until it fully fails.
Thus, the material properties of the sample can be easily determined by this test. It involves measuring the force required to elongate a sample under test to breaking point. Using this test, manufacturers and quality managers are able to determine the core strength of their products.
