Product type
A Universal Testing Machine (UTM) is a versatile device used to test the mechanical properties of materials. It applies controlled tension or compression to a specimen and measures the resulting deformation, allowing for the evaluation of strength, elasticity, and ductility. UTMs are typically constructed from high-strength steel and feature precise load cells and extensometers for accurate measurements.
| Load capacity | Up to 1000 kN |
| Testing speed | 0.001 to 500 mm/min |
| Specimen types | Tensile, compression, and flexural specimens |
| Control type | Computer-controlled or manual |
| Measurement accuracy | ±0.5% of reading |
| Power supply | Single-phase or three-phase |
When selecting a Universal Testing Machine, consider the load capacity required for your specific applications, as well as the types of materials you will be testing. Ensure the machine can accommodate the specimen sizes and shapes you typically work with. Look for features such as computer control for enhanced precision and data analysis capabilities. Additionally, inquire about certifications and compliance with industry standards relevant to your testing needs.
