What is a Universal Testing Machine and How Does It Work?

A Universal Testing Machine (UTM) is a versatile piece of equipment used to test the mechanical properties of materials. It applies various forces like tension, compression, and shear to evaluate material behavior under stress. UTMs are widely used in industries such as manufacturing, construction, and research to assess strength, elasticity, and ductility. With precise control and measurement capabilities, they help ensure that materials meet the required standards for safety, durability, and performance.
