 |
Instron evaluates properties, but realtors needn't worry. Instron makes instruments, systems, and software for testing the mechanical properties and performance of ceramics, composites, metals, plastics, rubber, and textiles. Instron's static systems measure the amount of continuous force needed to deform a material. Its dynamic systems simulate in-use conditions over time by stretching, compressing, and twisting materials and components such as automotive steering systems. Other products include durometers and structural and hardness testing systems. Clients are academic, industrial, and government researchers, engineers, and quality control managers. Investor group Kirtland Capital Partners owns 88% of Instron.
