Tender Details

What we need

We are looking to purchase a new research-grade Universal Testing Machine (UTM) to replace our current equipment which is 40+ years old. We are seeking to improve and modernise the mechanical testing capability within the Advanced Materials Group. The new UTM facility will let us better meet the needs of future customers by allowing more rapid response to requests for properties, improving our flexibility to meet the diverse testing needs of the customer, and extending our testing offering to give better and more detailed information about a material's performance. Further, by allowing us to characterise the mechanical performance of materials in unprecedented detail we can spearhead a push into novel materials with complex structure/property relationships (such as those exhibited by meta-materials).



What we don't want

We do not want a simple, standard and inflexible UTM that does not meet our essential technical specifications. We do not want a UTM with a horizontal axis for the main load or one with hydraulic actuators. We do not want a UTM that will take more than 6 months to be built, tested and delivered to our site in Gracefield, Lower Hutt, New Zealand.
