Universal Testing Machine Supplier Jordan | Scientico

Scientico India supplies the Universal Testing Machine to Jordan, direct from our Ambala factory to civil engineering departments, TVET workshops, and JSMO-aligned QC labs across Amman, Zarqa, Irbid and Aqaba. We build 100kN, 200kN, 400kN and 600kN Universal Testing Machines under the FortiTestX line, and ship them CIF Aqaba with CE, ISO 9001 and calibration paperwork ready for MOHE and university procurement files. If you already know the tonnage, jump straight to our strength of materials category; if you want the specification background first, the Universal Testing Machine buyer’s guide covers the technical trade-offs.

Been exporting to the Levant since the late 1990s. Jordan is a repeat market for us because the buyer profile is technical, tenders are written in real engineering English, and Aqaba clears India-origin cargo cleanly. Below is what I tell every Jordanian procurement officer who WhatsApps us asking for a Universal Testing Machine price.

Why Jordan colleges buy the Universal Testing Machine from India

Three reasons, in the order they matter. First, price. A 400kN servo-hydraulic Universal Testing Machine from India lands in Aqaba at roughly half the German or Italian equivalent, and the mechanics inside are honest, thick columns, proper load cell, real hydraulic power pack. Second, documentation. Jordanian public tenders through the Government Tenders Directorate (GTD) and university procurement at UJ, JUST and Hashemite ask for CE marking, ISO 9001, calibration certificates and a manufacturer authorisation letter. We issue all four with the pro-forma. Third, English. Our manuals, wiring diagrams and software menus are in English by default, and we send bilingual Arabic-English datasheets on request, that alone wins bids where a European vendor sent a German PDF.

There is also the manufacturer-direct point. When you buy a Scientico Universal Testing Machine, you talk to the engineer who built it, not a rebadged trading office. Spares ship the same week from Ambala.

Scientico’s Universal Testing Machine range for Jordan

The models Jordanian buyers pick most often:

• FortiTestX UTM 100kN, bench-top or floor, single-space, for concrete cube offcuts, rebar sub-samples, and undergraduate teaching. Fits community college labs accredited through Al-Balqa Applied University (BAU).
• FortiTestX UTM 200kN and 400kN, the workhorse. Double-space frame, tension above, compression below, wedge grips, round-bar grips, bend fixture. This is what most civil engineering departments in Jordan actually need for rebar and structural steel per BS EN and ASTM.
• FortiTestX UTM 600kN, for JSMO-aligned QC labs testing higher-grade rebar and thicker plate. Servo-hydraulic control, PC-based software, load-strain curves exported to Excel and PDF.

Pair the frame with our Universal Hardness Tester for a full materials lab, and add a FrixoDynamics jib crane apparatus if the department also runs a theory of machines lab. Full catalogue in the strength of materials range.

Universal Testing Machine, specifications Jordan buyers ask for

These are the line items I see written into UJ, JUST, Hashemite and MOHE-funded BOQs almost every time:

• Capacity: 100kN, 200kN, 400kN or 600kN. 400kN is the median request.
• Load cell accuracy: Class 1 per ISO 7500-1, ±1% of indicated load from 20% to 100% of range.
• Control: servo-hydraulic with closed-loop load, position and strain modes. Manual pump variants still sell to smaller vocational centres under VTC.
• Software: PC-based, English UI, live load-extension curve, auto-report generator, USB export. Test protocols pre-loaded for ASTM A370, ISO 6892-1, ISO 15630, EN 10002.
• Grips and fixtures: wedge grips for flat and round specimens, compression platens, three-point bend fixture, brick and cube platens on request.
• Power: 380-415V, 50Hz, 3-phase, matches Jordanian grid.

Confirm the specimen mix (rebar diameters, plate thickness, cube size) with us before you finalise capacity. Undersizing a Universal Testing Machine is the most expensive mistake in this category.

Import process into Jordan

Aqaba Container Terminal (ACT) is the standard entry point for India-origin cargo. Haifa, Ashdod and occasionally Beirut are used, but for a Scientico Universal Testing Machine shipping from Mundra or Nhava Sheva, Aqaba is the clean route. Rough working estimates:

We quote CIF Aqaba as standard and can extend to DAP Amman, DAP Zarqa or DAP Irbid on request. All estimates. Real timing depends on shipping schedule, JSMO conformity checks if applicable, and your customs broker.

Standards and documentation for Jordan tenders

Every Scientico Universal Testing Machine ships with the paperwork Jordanian public procurement wants to see: ISO 9001:2015 manufacturing quality certificate, CE marking declaration, and ISO 17025 / NABL-traceable calibration certificate for the load cell. That covers CE-marked equipment preference across the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research (MOHE), the Higher Education Accreditation and Quality Assurance Commission (HEAC / AQACHEI), Jordan Standards and Metrology Organization (JSMO), and TVET buyers under the Vocational Training Corporation (VTC).

For donor-funded lab upgrades (USAID Jordan, EU, GIZ, World Bank) we also issue a manufacturer authorisation letter naming your local agent, country-of-origin certificate, packing list, and warranty statement. Bilingual Arabic + English quotations are available, say the word “عربي” (‘Arabi, Arabic) in your enquiry and we send both files.
