How can we help you today?
At ADMET, Customers Come First
Our approach is always the same: get to know the customer, diagnose their issues and assess whether we can improve their performance. We can’t always help. However, after over 30 years of solving materials testing problems across a wide spectrum of industries, we have built the enviable reputation of making customers happy.

Biaxial Testing Systems
Ideal for simulating real-world conditions, ADMET offers both planar biaxial and axial-torsion test systems. Both types of systems can be offered with fatigue or static actuators. ADMET’s axial-torsion test systems are offered by adding a torsion actuator to one of our standard single or dual-column testing frames; providing you the flexibility to perform axial-torsion, uniaxial, and torsion-only tests with one machine.
- Static axial capacity up to 50 kN (10,000 lbf);
- Speed tailored to testing requirements
- Torque capacity up to 100 Nm (884 in-lbf)
- Exceeds ASTM and ISO accuracy standards

eXpert 5000 Modular
The eXpert 5000 series universal testing systems feature configurable frame components and a detachable actuator. This modular design approach gives the operator the ability to arrange their system in a variety of vertical or horizontal orientations. Perfect for users wanting to perform a variety of tests on a single machine, the 5000 is ADMET’s most affordable testing system.
- Capacity up to 10 kN (2,250 lbf); Speeds up to 15,240 mm/min (600 in/min)

eXpert 4000 Micro Tester
The eXpert 4000 is a full featured miniature testing machine that performs tension, compression and bend tests at capacities up to 5 kN (1,125 lb). The eXpert 4000 features opposing moving crossheads which means the center of the specimen never moves; a necessary feature when the eXpert 4000 is used with a microscope for measuring the strain properties of materials.
- Capacity up to 5 kN (1,000 lbf); Speeds up to 500 mm/min (20 in/min)
- Adaptable to microscope stages and capable of milligram low force testing

Torsion Testing Systems
ADMET eXpert 9000 torsion testers employ a linear slide design for maximum torsional stiffness and minimal axial friction. A reaction torque transducer is attached to a movable tail stock mounted on a linear slide. The tail stock can be left free floating or clamped during testing. All torsion testers feature unlimited rotation in both directions and are ordered as either horizontal or vertical testers.
- Torque capacity up to 300 Nm (2,650 in-lbf); Speeds up to 40 RPM
- Available in vertical or horizontal orientations
- Exceeds ASTM and ISO accuracy standards

What can an ADMET Universal Testing System retrofit do for you?
By pairing an older system with an ADMET controller or indicator, the functionality of the system is transformed. An ADMET retrofit will increase the accuracy and capability of your testing system and ensure that your tests are consistently and reliably performed to defined testing standards. With a modern computerized system, your results are calculated quickly and error free and are easily exported into a wide variety of report formats.
ADMET retrofits electromechanical and servohydraulic testing machines from ATS, Baldwin, Instron, MTS, Riehle, SATEC, Shimadzu, Tinius Olsen, United, and more! In addition to adding controllers and indicators, ADMET can upgrade a system with a new servo motor, servohydraulic power unit, actuator, load cell, or pressure transducer as well as convert the system to full closed-loop automatic control. Talk to one of our experienced staff about retrofitting your machine today!
Read Our Case Studies and See What ADMET Customers Have to Say
For over 30 years, ADMET has been helping companies solve their material testing challenges.
Here are some stories of how we’ve worked with our customers to improve their testing process.
Aerospace
A major corporate jet manufacturer was asked by its customers to expand its maintenance and testing capabilities. They needed a universal testing system that could accommodate components from a broad range of aircraft from many manufacturers. Where could they find a universal testing machine that could be designed to meet all their needs and their budget?
Automotive
Dexter Axle performs routine tests of daily in-process manufacturing friction welds on axle assemblies using a Reihle electromechanical tensile testing machine. However, Dexter’s main line of heavy duty axles, Torflex, uses rubber components that are integral to the product’s performance. The question: how do you test these rubber components?
Medical Devices
Karl Storz is an international manufacturer of medical devices and instruments. In order to develop better, stronger products, engineers needed to gain more structural and performance information about their endoscope tubing. They considered building their own universal testing system, but this proved unrealistic. What did they do next?
