IDM - Model IDM-F0025-M1 -Universal testing Machine
The Universal Testing Machine or the UTM is dual-testing machine can perform compression and tensile testing. The Universal testing machine enables measurement of firmness and harness. It is based on a physical property called the indentation force deflection (IFD). Which is calculated by determining the force required to deflect a test piece. Which is a percentage of its original thickness using a circular indentor. This applies a force, while also recording the degree of indentation. As the name suggests, it is called "Universal testing Machine" because it can test tensile and compression of various materials. For example, textiles, rubber, springs, plastic and others. The tests conform with relevant testing standards such as ASTM, ISO, JIS, GB, and many others.
IDM Instruments` UTM comes with fixed dual testing capabilities. Which comprises of compression testing on the inner frame. As well as tensile strength testing on the outer frame. This incorporation of dual testing space design is beneficial. as it eliminates the need of having two machines required for testing. The same machine is useful for both tests. The twin column bench-mounted UTM has a strong and durable frame. Thus, can withstand many years of use. It offers excellent accuracy and ease of use. It operates on the IDM Instruments Pty Ltd software program.
Tensile testing is a common method used to test quality of materials. The tensile of a sample is determined by the force required to elongate (applying tension) until it reaches breakage point. For example, a rope is pulled from both ends until it reaches the breaking point. This test helps quality experst determine whether the material/ product would sustain different circumsances it goes through. The minimum tensile strength is determined by the testing standard referred. The applications of tensile testing are limitless. From textile companies to research orgnisations to aerospace companies, tensile tetsing is performed by every quality testing department.
We have so mnay clinets who have used our universal testing machine to test tensile of foam, ropes, wires, plastic, textiles, etc.
The compression test measure the elastic and compressive fracture properties of brittle materials or low-ductility materials. For example, foam samples. Compression tests are also used to determine the elasticity, proportional limit, compressive yield point, compressive yield strength, and compressive strength.
