Multiple Uses of Universal Testing Machine: Iraq University College Department of Civil Engineering

This presentation summarizes the multiple uses of a universal testing machine (UTM). It begins with an introduction that defines a UTM as a machine used to test tensile stress and compressive strength. It then describes the main components of a UTM and various tests it can perform, including rebar tensile tests, bending tests, adhesive tests, and determining concrete compressive strength. The presentation concludes with step-by-step operating procedures for conducting a rebar tensile test using a UTM, from sample preparation to viewing the final test report.

INTRODUCTION
 A universal testing machine, also known as a universal
tester, materials testing machine or materials test
frame, is used to test the tensile stress and
compressive strength of materials.

 The primary use of the testing machine is to create


the stress strain diagram. Once the diagram is
generated, a pencil and straight edge or computer
algorithm can be used to calculate yield strength,
Young's Modulus, tensile strength or total elongation.
Components of UTM
It consists of two main parts, called:

A- Loading unit
1. Upper crosshead - To clamp testing specimen from top
2. Lower crosshead - To clamp testing specimen from below
3. Table - to place the specimen, used for compression test

B- Control Unit
The load is applied and recorded by this unit. The load is
applied with control valve and released by release valve. The
load is applied with the help of hydraulic pressure.
