[2025 Ultimate Guide & Review] TOPHUNG TH-8201 Series Computer-Controlled Tensile Testing Machine: Best Value Precision Tester for 0.1-1000N Applications (Real User Cases + Comparison Table)
Nov 17, 2025
Hello everyone, this is TOPHUNG from China – your preferred material testing equipment manufacturer, exported to over 60 countries. Today, November 17, 2025, we’re launching the official English blog on tophungtest.com with our flagship bestseller: the TH-8201 Series Computer-Controlled Electronic Universal Testing Machine (also called computer-controlled tensile tester).
This machine has shipped over 3,500 units worldwide in the past 5 years alone, especially popular in North America, Europe, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East. It dominates thin film, adhesive tape, photovoltaic ribbon, textile fiber, FPC flexible circuit boards, medical devices, and packaging materials testing — any application that needs high precision at low to medium force values.
In this 4,800+ word ultimate guide, I’ll cover everything: full specifications, software features, head-to-head comparison with famous Japanese and German brands, common buying mistakes, and why Google searchers looking for “computer controlled tensile testing machine” or “precision universal testing machine under 20kN” almost always end up choosing TOPHUNG.
Let’s dive in.
1. Why the TH-8201 Series Is Still the #1 Exported Model in 2025
New standards like ASTM D882-2024, ISO 527-2025, and EN 10002 are getting stricter on repeatability and traceability. Many labs are replacing 10-20-year-old hydraulic or basic screw machines because:
Force accuracy drops below 1% at low loads
Speed range is too narrow for both creep and high-speed tests
Software cannot export compliance reports directly
The TH-8201 solves all of these instantly:
Class 0.5 accuracy (±0.5% of reading, traceable to ISO 7500-1)
Displacement resolution 0.0001 mm
Speed 0.001–1000 mm/min stepless
Full Windows 11 compatible English/Spanish/Russian software with one-click GB/ASTM/ISO report generation

5. Top 3 Buying Mistakes Overseas Customers Make in 2025
Buying 50kN machine for 500N tests → accuracy suffers
Forgetting to order correct voltage (110V vs 220V) → delays customs
Skipping environmental chamber → cannot add later without full rebuild
