Universal Materials Testing Machines A universal testing machine, also known as a UTM or tensile tester, is used to test the tensile stress and compressive strength of materials. It is named after the fact that it can perform many standard tests including tensile and compression tests for a wide range of materials. Thwing-Albert’s universal materials testers can be modified to meet a broad range of test applications from simple to complex. Choose between simplified instruments with built-in systems or computer-controlled testing machines that offer advanced software packages. Configure your universal materials testing machine to measure a variety of physical properties: →→ Tensile →→ Coefficient of Friction →→ Compression →→ Burst →→ Flexural Bending →→ Peel →→ Puncture These machines can be paired with grips and fixtures as well as custom fixtures to meet most international standards including ASTM, ISO, TAPPI, DIN and others. If you have a method you need to meet, we can find a solution for you.
