 systems offers several tabletop universal materials testing machines, grips and fixtures. The machines and accessories are said to be useful for testing polymers, plastics and films in tension, compression, flexure flexure /flex·ure/ (flek´sher) a bend or fold; a curvation.

 and shear. The company's eXpert Series machine control units range from the standalone eP digital controller to the MTESTWindows PC/Windows-based materials testing system. All of the company's controllers are said to feature fast-acting 32-bit microprocessors for accurate and repeatable preload preload /pre·load/ (pre´lod) the mechanical state of the heart at the end of diastole, the magnitude of the maximal (end-diastolic) ventricular volume or the end-diastolic pressure stretching the ventricles.  and test routines. The control units also collect data and report results, including tensile strength, modulus of elasticity modulus of elasticity

The ratio of the stress applied to a body to the strain that results in the body in response to it. The modulus of elasticity of a material is a measure of its stiffness and for most materials remains constant over a range of stress.
