All Plastometrex products use PIP (Profilometry-based Indentation Plastometry), our proprietary technology honed over 15 years of prior research by former Cambridge materials scientists. PIP extracts stress-strain curves from simple indentation data using accelerated inverse finite element analysis.
Measure stress-strain curves and metal strength parameters in minutes, non-destructively.
Simple sample prep, user-friendly software, and automated testing at the click of a button.
Accurate and reproducible mechanical properties for metallic samples of all sizes, and spatial mapping across parts or welds.
With PIP, you get all the benefits of tensile and hardness testing in one, with none of the limitations.

Compact and easy to use, the PLX-Benchtop extracts metal stress-strain curves in just a few minutes from small and irregular specimens, and maps properties across parts or welds.
An add-on module to the PLX-Benchtop that generates stress-strain curves at temperatures up to 800 °C in minutes.
Extract metal asset yield and tensile strength quickly, reliably, and non-destructively, with industry-leading accuracy.
