Universal Testing Machines (UTMs) are mechanical testing machines used to determine material properties for both metal and all other materials. These machines are capable of performing tensile, compression, bending, and shear testing on materials under controlled conditions. The UTM measures how the material behaves under the influence of external forces and provides information about strength and deformation.

Key Features:

• Multiple Types of Tests: A Universal Testing Machine (UTM) can perform tensile, compression, bending, and shear tests on the same machine through the use of different fixtures and grips.
• Accurate Measurements: The UTM provides accurate load, stress, strain, and elongation values, allowing engineers and scientists to evaluate material behavior with confidence.
• Testing of All Materials: Universal testing machines can be used to test metals, alloys, polymers, and composites in a laboratory or manufacturing facility.

The main purpose of a universal testing machine is to evaluate and control the quality of materials. With the aid of this testing equipment, an engineer can determine the tensile strength, compressive strength, ductility, and elasticity of metal before using it in any type of structure or product. The construction, automotive, and manufacturing industries rely on the results of UTM testing for the development of safe and effective products. Without knowing the limits and failure points of materials, the UTM offers engineers a safe design, a higher level of reliability for their products, and a more effective approach to engineering as a whole.
