- UTM 1ST / 1 kN Universal Testing Machine
The UTM 1ST is a 1 kN Universal Testing Machine built for the packaging industry, measuring tensile, peel, and seal strength in films, laminates, and flexible pouches. As a packaging film tensile tester supplier serving laboratories across India, Flexitest fits the UTM 1ST with an extended crosshead to handle plastic films with higher elongation.
The machine is also widely used for seal strength testing of pouches and flexible barrier materials against standards like ASTM F88 and F904, alongside peel, puncture, and tear testing (ASTM D1938) – making it a single instrument for the core mechanical tests most packaging QC labs run daily.
