This servo-hydraulic Universal Testing Machine is ideal for high-capacity tension, compression, bend/flex, and shear testing. It is in accordance with the EN, ISO, ASTM, JIS, GB and many other standards. These frames feature dual spaces so users can quickly change between tension and compression testing without having to remove heavy fixtures.
Torontech is being increasingly recognized as a standard for accuracy, dependability and versatility in servo-hydraulic universal testing machines.
A Universal Testing Machine (UTM) is used to test both the tensile and compressive strength of materials. Universal Testing Machines are named as such because they can perform many different varieties of tests on an equally diverse range of materials, components, and structures. Most UTM models are modular, and can be adapted to fit the customer’s needs.
Universal Testing Machines can accommodate many kinds of materials, ranging from hard samples, such as metals and concrete, to flexible samples, such as rubber and textiles. This diversity makes the Universal Testing Machine equally applicable to virtually any manufacturing industry.
The UTM is a versatile and valuable piece of testing equipment that can evaluate materials properties such as tensile strength, elasticity, compression, yield strength, elastic and plastic deformation, bend compression, and strain hardening. Different models of Universal Testing Machines have different load capacities, some as low as 5kN and others as high as 2,000kN.
