Research and Teaching Tools

Professor with students in laboratory

For over 30 years, ADMET testing machines have been utilized by educational institutions across the world to help with their material testing needs. Whether you’re building a new student lab and need a tester for hands on teaching or are conducting research on cutting edge materials, ADMET can deliver a world class system for the job.

Research objectives often require testing that is the first of its kind. Along with ADMET’s standard lines of Universal, Axial-Torsion, Micro, and Fatigue Test Systems, we will develop engineered solutions built specifically for your unique application. Customization includes modified frames, increased capacity, custom fixturing, modified test speeds, environmental accessories, and integration of third party products such as digital image correction (DIC) systems.

The ADMET story started 33 years ago with testing machine retrofits and software and controller design, making the company a leader in its industry. Since then, ADMET has gone on to manufacture its own testing frames and systems, building on the core strength of its robust software design. In addition to our standard offerings, we will also tailor a custom system to meet your special testing requirements.
