This specialized equipment is essential for conducting axial and torsion testing, and includes various components such as load cells, debris shields, and advanced grips, all tailored to meet the specific testing requirements of the Air Force Test Center. The contract will be awarded to the Instron division of Illinois Tool Works, as market research indicated no other product could fulfill the agency's needs.
