Universal testing machine
A Universal Testing Machine also known as a materials testing machine. univarsal testing machines can be used to test the tensile and compressive properties of materials.
This type of machines are called Universal Testing Machine because it can
perform all the tests like compression, bending, tension etc to examine the
material in all mechanical properties. These machines generally have two
columns but single column types are also available. Load cells and
extensometers measure the key parameters of force and deformation which can
also be presented in graphical mode in case of computer operated machines..
These machines are widely used and would be found in almost all materials
testing laboratory.
There are some types of univarsal testing machines
- Computer operated univarsal testing machine
- Digitally operated univarsal testing machine
- Single Column Universal Testing Machines
- . Double / Dual Column Universal Testing Machines
- . Four Column Universal Testing Machines
