Centralized Resource Laboratory
Universal Testing Machine (UTM)
Specifications:
Model: 100-500KN
Make: Testometric Inc. UK
Tests: Extension, Compression, Bending, Puncture
Max. Force: 100kN
Temp. Range: -70 to 300°
Analysis Requirements:
Mechanical analysis is only possible for solid samples (ceramics, rocks, metals, polymers etc.). For cylindrical samples, the ratio of the diameter (maximum 3 cm) to the height of the samples should be about 1:1.70, while in case of parallelopiped samples.
In case of metal/polymer/ceramic/rock strips, the length of the sample should be at least 10 cm. For metal rods, the diameter should not exceed 1cm.
