A single universal testing machine (UTM) is capable of performing a range of tests, including tensile and compression tests, following international and industry-specific standards.
The key factor is the flexible software used to program the testing methods. This software enables explicit control over load application and deformation rate, which is particularly important when testing raw materials. When testing assemblies and finished products, it is crucial to simulate real-life usage. Therefore, the software should be versatile enough to respond to events during the test and adapt the testing program accordingly.
Additionally, the testing equipment should include a test frame that can apply the maximum load and provide sufficient space to securely locate the specimen. This combination of software and equipment makes the tester truly universal.
