Final results delivered in-ditch

Results are generated straight from the dig site, with report-ready data available immediately and accessible from anywhere via cloud-based platform.

Your mechanical testing gaps, filled.

Test samples too thin for tensile

With a choice of indenter sizes, MultiScale generates stress-strain curves from samples as thin as 0.75 mm, enabling testing that was previously impossible.

Understand fine-scale variations

Indents can be spaced as close as 1.5 mm apart, allowing property mapping across welds and complex parts, revealing variations that tensile testing may miss.

Gain richer insights, at speed

Enjoy the speed and ease of hardness testing without the ambiguity, with 5-minute physics-based tests that deliver defensible, mechanical property data.

Capture mechanical behaviour at multiple scales

MultiScale PIP testing operates across three indenter scales: 100 µm, 250 µm, and 500 µm, capturing mechanical behaviour at a variety of scales. The 500 µm indenter comes standard in every PLX-Benchtop system.

Access the 100 µm and 250 µm indenters through your CORSICA+ subscription to gain access to advanced inverse-modelling, higher-resolution mapping, and deeper material insight, all from the same PLX system.
