The present work intends to analyze the tensile strength testing of +45° of isotropic fiberglass-reinforced polymer (FRP) laminates on the different universal testing machines. The tensile strength test used two different universal testing machines. The tensile test has one type of specimen which is under +45° angle. The FRP material that had effects on the angle orientation was a woven roving mat. The laminated specimen has used a polymer (resin) which is an unsaturated polyester, and the catalyst was methyl ethyl ketone peroxide (MEKP). The stacking sequence resulted in quasi-isotropic properties. The specimen had nine layers with the same size, i.e., 250 mm × 25 mm × 8 mm which was a flat bar, balanced, and symmetric according to ASTM D3039. This research revealed that the use of the universal testing machine “MFL system, UPD-20” resulted in the highest tensile strength and the highest force.
