[labnetwork] looking for affordable Instron universal testing machine (2 N - greater than 1000 N force range)

[Steven Makowka]

Hello all,

I'm looking into acquiring an affordable Instron universal testing machine
(2 N - greater than 1000 N force range), and preferably made within the
last 10 or so years.  It would be for general purpose testing of dental
materials (dental ceramics, thin metals, PMMA, adhesive joints, etc) in
mostly tension, flexure, or shear.

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for a vendor or a
machine/system.

Thank you for your time and consideration... Steven Makowka
