force gauges and material testing accessories


Manufacturing , Medical Device

Speed 3 / Price 5 / Quality 5

ametek supplies our force gauges (mark-10) on the production floor. we need equipment that is reliable and durable since its used every day, and their material testing equipment and force gauges are just that. it’s also a great alternative (both physically and financially) to mts or instron. they are very simple and straight forward to use.

Chatillon and Lloyd

Speed 4 / Price 4 / Quality 4

AMETEK manufactures Lloyd and Chatillon products. We have Chatillon Gage's for applications were quick results are required and strain rates are not a concern. We also use a lot of Lloyd grips such as the yarn and fiber grips. These decent grips for testing of braided fibers and wire. Both products lines offer reliable operation at a reasonable cost.

Strengths: Materials testing equipment and accessories.

table top tensile tester


Manufacturing , Medical Device
03/09/2014

Speed 4 / Price 4 / Quality 3

i have used their chatillon table top single column tester many times and its a cheap alternative to get a tensile tester without spending the money you would need for a MTS or instron. software and programming it isn't as useful, so its been mainly manual operation. the force gauges are great and versatile

Strengths: compact, cheaper

Needs to improve: none

Lloyd LS1


R & D / Engineering , Consumer Products
12/27/2013

Speed 5 / Price 4 / Quality 5

Great tester that uses a range of load cells to test compression or tension of an item. When having issues and called their customer service number i had to call back cause the expert was on vacation and they had no one that could help me.

Strengths: Amazing test equipment with great precision

Needs to improve: Lacks customer service

Custom Coating Tester


Manufacturing , Medical Device
04/15/2014

Speed 3 / Price 3 / Quality 4

We had Lloyd design and manufacture a custom piece of test equipment to assess the adhesion of a lubricious coating to our catheter shaft. While the final product was somewhat cumbersome, the machine worked fine and had the ability to catch adhesion issues prior to releasing the product into the field.

Strengths: Custom mechanical testers

Needs to improve: none identified

Good at Anodizing Black and Clear


R & D / Engineering , Medical Device

Speed 4 / Price 4 / Quality 3

Generally positive, especially when needing quick turnaround.

Strengths: Fast turnaround when needed. Competitive pricing. Wide range of colors available.

Needs to improve: Be careful when picking from their color palettes for anodizing. Each time I wanted the same color done as before, the shades of coloring was different. They also lost one of our parts.

Alternative to MTS and Instron


Manufacturing , Medical Device
03/25/2014

Speed 3 / Price 4 / Quality 4

Their equipment is more simple when compared to the MTS and Instron, so any complicated cycles will probably not be feasible on a Chatillon system, however, it is a great alternative when you need a simple system to perform tensile testing.

Strengths: Chatillon, Force Gauges, Mechanical Testers

Needs to improve: None

Universal Tester


R & D / Engineering , Medical Device
02/04/2014

Speed 5 / Price 5 / Quality 5

I use the Lloyd LS1 almost everyday and its a great universal tester. I use it for everything break test, stiction test, compression test, drag test, and pull test. Can't go wrong having one of these in your R&D.

Strengths: Great customer service and a great product

Needs to improve: none

They take care of a whole variety of anodization and part cleaning needs.


R & D / Engineering , Medical Device

Speed 4 / Price 5 / Quality 5

No issues to speak of.

Strengths: They have process experts on staff to help figure out specialized applications for parts cleaning and coating.

Needs to improve: If you're doing anodization, they don't have enough capacity to do any color you want quickly, but they can do it if you wait a bit.

Speed 3 / Price 2 / Quality 4

the hand held load cells they make are excellent and extremely useful. i don't find their software package very useful however. chatillon test stand is useful for its cost, but for more capable tests, a instron or MTS is highly recommended.

Strengths: hand held load cells

Needs to improve: software
