The UP-2000-P is a single-column, desktop tensile tester developed for plastic materials. It is built on the common UP-2000 mainframe — touch screen servo control system, high-precision load cell and customizable test stroke — and is configured specifically for plastics with dedicated wedge grips and a preset plastic test program.
Its purpose is to eliminate the two failures that ruin most plastic tensile tests: specimen slippage in the jaws and premature breakage at the clamping position. Custom wedge grips with rubber anti-slip jaw inserts are self-tightening during tensile loading, so dumbbell specimens of PP, PE, PVC, ABS, Nylon and PC are held firmly from zero load to break. Operators enter sample width and thickness, press start, and the system automatically calculates tensile strength, elongation at break and elastic modulus, then exports the force-elongation curve and test report.

A: It supports dumbbell-shaped specimens of PP, PE, PVC, ABS, Nylon and PC, as well as plastic sheet and extruded profiles. It is suitable for tensile strength, elongation at break and modulus testing of both rigid and semi-rigid plastics.
A: The machine uses wedge grips with rubber anti-slip jaw inserts designed for plastic specimens. We also recommend preparing standard dumbbell specimens to ISO 527 / ASTM D638, which effectively reduces slipping and premature breakage at the clamping position.
A: Yes. The touch screen system contains built-in plastic tensile test templates. After entering sample width and thickness, you can start the test with one click, and the system generates force-elongation curves and test reports automatically.
A: Yes. Recycled plastic often shows unstable elongation. This tester records the full test data, helping you check material batch consistency for incoming quality control.
A: It supports ISO 527, ASTM D638 and GB/T 1040, the most common standards used by plastic manufacturers and third-party testing laboratories.
A: Wedge grips fitted with rubber anti-slip jaw inserts. They are self-tightening during tensile loading, which reduces specimen slippage for ISO 527 / ASTM D638 dumbbell specimens.
A: Yes. The UP-2000-P, UP-2000-M, UP-2000-F and UP-2000-A use the same single-column main unit, so you can switch test applications by changing the matched grips and selecting the corresponding preset test program. Each machine is supplied with one set of standard grips only; additional grips are optional and purchased separately. Grip replacement does not change the load capacity of the tester, and frequent disassembly may affect specimen alignment and data repeatability.
A: The mainframe is common to the whole UP-2000 series, so multi-material testing is possible with the matching grips and programs. For laboratories that test several material types routinely, please send us your sample specifications and we will recommend the right configuration.
