Thank you!
Thank you for purchasing a Mark-10 Series ES Force
Measurement Test Stand. We are confident that you will
get many years of service from this product.
The Model ES05 test stand can be used in various
compression testing applications up to 30 lbF (150 N). To
maintain smooth mechanical functioning of your test
stand, avoid repetitive overloads and shock loads.
We hope that this User’s Guide will provide a
comprehensive explanation of the test stand’s operation.
However, if you have any other questions or concerns our
engineering and technical support teams will be eager to
help you.
