Universal Testing Machines (UTM)

Mechanical, electronic, servo, hydraulic-grip and electromechanical universal testing machines

Universal Testing Machines (UTM) · Canan Testing

Our product range includes a wide range of universal testing machines (UTM): FIE universal testing machines, mechanical, electronic, servo controlled, computer controlled and digital UTMs, six column UTMs and electromechanical UNITEK models. We are leading dealers of universal testing machines in India, with sales, service and calibration from Delhi, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Chennai, Kerala and our other regional offices.

A universal testing machine performs tension, compression, bend, shear and transverse tests on one frame, which makes it the core equipment of steel plants, TMT bar mills, fastener and wire makers, civil engineering labs and research institutes. As a UTM machine supplier in India we help you select the right capacity, grips and controls, and keep the machine calibrated to IS 1828 and ISO 7500-1.

Mechanical Universal Testing Machine

The UTN mechanical universal testing machine performs tension, compression and transverse tests with a continuous-roll autographic load-elongation recorder.

Digital Universal Testing Machine

The UTE series digital universal testing machines perform tension, compression, transverse and bend tests with digital or touchscreen display of load and elongation.

Universal Testing Machine with Hydraulic Gripping

HGFL universal testing machines clamp the specimen with hydraulic grips loaded from the front, which makes specimen changes faster and safer and reduces slippage on ribbed bars.

Six Column Universal Testing Machine

The U MAX six column universal testing machine uses four pillars and two lead screws for a stiffer, more stable frame.

Electro Mechanical Universal Testing Machine

UNITEK electromechanical universal testing machines are screw-driven tensile testers with a precision AC servo drive and ball lead screw.

Extensometers

Mechanical and electronic extensometers for tensile and universal testing machines. Supply, spares and calibration in India.

About Universal Testing Machines (UTM)

A universal testing machine (UTM) applies a controlled tensile or compressive force to a specimen and records load against elongation. With the right grips and attachments, one machine performs tension, compression, bend, shear and transverse tests, which is why the UTM is the core equipment of every materials laboratory.

Hydraulic UTMs use a hydraulic cylinder to reach high forces and are the standard choice for TMT bars, plates and structural steel. Electromechanical UTMs use a servo motor and ball screw for precise, lower-force testing of plastics, rubber, wires and thin metals. Digital, touchscreen and servo controlled versions add digital records, graphs and controlled loading rates required by test standards.

Choosing the right UTM

  • Capacity: choose a frame whose capacity is comfortably above your highest expected breaking load.
  • Control: mechanical (UTN) for basic needs, electronic (UTE) for digital results, servo (UTES) where standards specify strain or stress rates.
  • Grips: hydraulic front-loading grips (HGFL) speed up specimen changes and improve safety.
  • Software: computerised models plot curves and calculate yield, proof stress, UTS and elongation.
  • Accessories: extensometers, bend and shear attachments and gauge-length marking machines.

Tests you can run on a universal testing machine

  • Tensile test (UTS, yield / 0.2% proof stress, elongation, reduction of area)
  • Compression test
  • Bend and rebend test
  • Shear test
  • Transverse / flexural test
  • Cyclic and low-cycle fatigue (electronic models)

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a universal testing machine?

A universal testing machine (UTM) applies tensile or compressive force to a specimen and measures load and elongation, so one machine can perform tension, compression, bend, shear and transverse tests.

What capacity UTM do I need for TMT bars?

It depends on the largest bar diameter and grade. For example, a 32 mm Fe 500D bar can need well over 400 kN, so 600 kN or 1000 kN machines are common in TMT plants. Share your sizes and grades and we will recommend a capacity.

What is the difference between UTN, UTE and UTES?

UTN is a mechanical UTM with an autographic recorder. UTE adds electronic digital display and PC connectivity. UTES is servo controlled for precise strain or stress rates.

Do you supply FIE universal testing machines?

Yes, we are an authorised prime dealer of FIE. See FIE universal testing machines.

Do you calibrate UTMs?

Yes. We provide UTM calibration services as per IS 1828 and ISO 7500-1 from our NABL accredited laboratory.
