Universal Testing Machine

Applies controlled load for tensile, compression, flexural and shear tests.

Overview

A universal testing machine pulls, compresses or bends a specimen at a controlled rate while recording load and displacement. It is the basis of most mechanical property tests.

Applications

  • Tensile and compression testing
  • Flexural (bend) testing
  • Shear, lap shear and peel tests
