Overview

About the Universal Testing Machine

The Universal Testing Machine (UTM) is a computerised twin-screw machine, available in Servo and Vector models, used to determine the tensile and elongation properties of materials as per ASTM D638 and ISO 527, compression as per ASTM D695 and flexural (three-point bending) as per ASTM D790. It is suitable for checking all types of polymers, compounds, composite materials, fibre-reinforced plastics (FRP) and other polymeric materials.

Control is handled by a 32-bit microcontroller with a 4 line × 20 character display, providing highly accurate position control across a wide speed range, with auto-stop and auto-reverse and pre-programmable tests for Tensile, Flexural, Peel, Bond, Compression and Cyclic endurance based on load, travel or time. All results — including peak and break load, elongation, tensile strength, flexural stress, compression strength and the secant, tangent and flexural moduli — are displayed directly on the controller and through the PC software, with a numeric printout facility and selectable units.

FAQ

Universal Testing Machine — FAQs

What is a Universal Testing Machine used for?
It performs tensile, compression and flexural (3-point bending) tests — tensile & elongation per ASTM D638 & ISO 527, compression per ASTM D695, flexural per ASTM D790 — on polymers, compounds, composites and FRP.
Which standards does it follow?
ASTM D638 and ISO 527 (tensile/elongation), ASTM D695 (compression) and ASTM D790 (flexural).
What load capacity and speed range are available?
Capacities up to 5000 kg with one or two load cells, cross travel up to 1000 mm, horizontal daylight 450 mm and speed of 0.5–800 mm/minute depending on model. Other capacities on request.
Servo vs Vector — what's the difference?
Both are computerised twin-screw machines on a 32-bit microcontroller; they differ in the drive system (servo or VFD/vector), selected based on speed range, control accuracy and budget.
What results does it display?
Peak/break load, elongation, % elongation, tensile strength, flexural stress, compression strength and secant/tangent/flexural moduli — on the controller and through PC software with printout.
