The use of metals far above room temperature (up to 1600 °C) also calls for testing in the applicable temperature range. The design of Zwick materials testing machines allows the adding-on of the high-temperature unit directly in the test area. It is thus possible to perform tests at room temperature as well as at higher temperatures. For room temperature tests, the high-temperature components such as high-temperature oven, high-temperature extensometer, and roller lever are simply pivoted out of the test area.

Zwick also offers the necessary hardware and software solutions for optimized test processes using multiple high-temperature units in a
test system for tests based on international standards such as ISO 783, EN 10005-5, and ASTM E21 and E 8.
