Uses for Universal Testing Machine

Universal testing machine or UTM is aptly named as it can perform various types of tensile and compression tests on different materials. There are also many different terms used to refer to a UTM that you will commonly hear in the industry, among the most popular of which are a tensile tester, bend tester, and compression tester. Some types of UTMs are stripped of some capabilities and/or are marketed to specific sectors, like texture analyzers for food, peel tester for adhesives, labels, and tapes, and top load compression tester for pipes and packaging. True UTMs can perform all of these and more. They are great multi-purpose instruments for any QC or R&D laboratory. The following are only a few common uses for UTMs:


  • Tensile testing – One of the most common applications for UTM, a tensile test measure how strong a material is, how long it can stretch, and how stiff it is as the material is pulled apart until breaking point.
  • Compression testing – Compression is the direct opposite of a tensile test. A UTM can be used to compress an object until a pre-determined load or distance or until the product breaks.
  • Peel testing – A peel test is quite similar to a tensile test, only instead of pulling a single piece of material apart, you are pulling apart two materials that have previously been bonded together in order to determine its average peel force.
  • Bend testing – Bend testing is a form of compression test where the length of a material is supported on each end while the machine presses down directly in the middle of the span until it breaks or reaches a particular distance. Bend testing measures the flexural strength (flexibility) and flexural modulus (stiffness) of a material
  • Puncture testing – A puncture test involves probing a material sample until it punctures, in order to get its puncture resistance value.

    The primary function of a UTM Machine , also known as a Universal Testing Machine or UTM test machine, in material testing is to apply controlled tensile, compressive, and bending forces to specimens. This facilitates the assessment of various mechanical properties such as tensile strength, yield strength, modulus of elasticity, and elongation. However, it's important to note that a UTM is distinct from a weathering tester, which is specifically designed to simulate environmental conditions like UV exposure, humidity, and temperature to evaluate material degradation over time. While both types of equipment contribute to material testing, UTMs focus on mechanical properties analysis, while weathering testers assess material durability under environmental conditions.

Advantages of Universal Testing Machine

The main advantage of investing in a universal testing machine is that the device can be used to test the strength, durability, and suitability for most any material. A universal testing machine has the capability to pull, compress, bend, or stretch material to its breaking point. It is primarily used by laboratories that manufacture and or mould different types of plastics. A universal testing device features one or two vertical columns mounted on a base. A second horizontal plate contains attachments that are used to hold the sample and slides up and down during stress testing samples. Dual vertical column machines are preferred by most laboratories as they can handle larger samples in terms of size and weight. Determining tensile strength is the most common test performed in a universal testing machine. This is done by holding one end of a sample in place while the other is pulled away until two sides are torn apart. The same process is used for testing flexural str

Precautions to Be Taken While Using a Piezometer

The piezometer is a measuring device that determines pore pressures underground and liquid pressure. By determining pore pressure, you can understand the behaviour of the ground before, during, and after a construction project. Certain precautions must be taken when using a piezometer to ensure proper usage and the accuracy of results. Here are some of them: Have the right equipment – Invest in a state-of-the-art piezometer that uses a proven method of converting fluid pressures on the sensitive diaphragm into frequency signals which are ideal in the demanding environment common with civil engineering applications. Modern piezometers are capable of long distance signal transmission without degradation. They can tolerate wet wiring conditions and resist external electrical noise, too. Some manufacturers make piezometers specific for different applications, for instance, you should be able to find one with a heavy-duty body that can be b
