LAB REPORT #2
Lab 02: Introduction to Universal Testing Machine
Objectives:
a) To study the basics components of UTM.
b) To know the operational mechanism of UTM.
c) To know about the different tests performed on the UTM (Compression, Tensile etc).
Apparatus/Tools: • UTM • Computer

Theory:
UTM: A Universal Testing Machine (UTM), also known as a universal tester, materials
testing machine or materials test frame, is used to test the tensile strength and
compressive strength of materials. It can perform many standard tensile and compression
tests on materials, components, and structures. The machine has been named so because
of the wide range of tests it can perform over different kinds of materials.
