Reconditioned Tensile Tester: 60K Tinius Olsen Super L – Before and After
The Frank Bacon Difference in Tensile Testers
Frank Bacon Machinery has been rebuilding and reconditioning tensile tester machines and Tinius Olsen’s along with other Material Testing Equipment since 1953! We are a world leader in tensile testing sales. Our reconditioned Tinius Olsen machines come with a 1 year parts and labor warranty and certified to current ASTM E10 requirements. They also come with our standard MDNA (Machinery Dealer National Association) 30 day satisfaction guaranteed return privilege. Above are pictures of the machine prior to receiving the Frank Bacon Machinery rebuild process. Before reconditioning, the used tensile tester remained in rough condition. The wiring, electronics, timers, & hydraulic system all needed to be replaced with new components.
What is tensile testing also known as a Universal Testing Machine (UTM)?
Tensile testing also known as a tension testing applies a pulling force to a material to measure the material’s response to the stress. These tests determine how strong a material is and how much it can elongate before it breaks. Tensile testing determines tensile strength, yield strength, ductility, tensile yield and elongation. One of the most important properties we can determine about a material is its ultimate tensile strength (UTS). This is the maximum stress that a material sustains during the test.
60K Tinius Olsen Super L – The Final Product 
After reconditioning, our tensile testers are in pristine condition and the final product is like brand new. We completely replace the major components. This Tinius Olsen has a brand new motor, manifold closed loop proportional valve, electrical wiring, and computer controls. Also, new air heat exchange to keep the oil cool to allow a longer testing cycle, updated limit switches, cross-head motors, pressure transducer, and belt.
