Information on the most widely used ASTM standards within the materials testing industry
Electromechanical Universal Testing machine
A universal testing machine (UTM), also known as a universal tester, materials testing machine, is a device used to determine the mechanical properties of materials under tensile, compressive, bending, shear, and other loads. It is widely used in industries such as metals, plastics, rubber, composite materials, textiles, paper, and medical devices. The "universal" part of the name reflects that it can perform many kinds of standards tension, compression, bending etc., tests on materials, components, and structures.

What is electronic type universal testing machine?
An electronic universal testing machine (also known as an electronic universal tester, EUTM) is a precision laboratory instrument designed to perform mechanical tests on a wide range of materials, components, and products. It measures key mechanical properties such as strength, elasticity, toughness, and durability under controlled loading conditions.
UnitedTest Electronic universal testing machine uses advanced electronic control and digital components to accurately apply forces (tension, compression, etc.) and measure the material's response. It can determine key mechanical properties such as tensile strength, yield point, elongation, compressive strength, and flexural modulus. Equipped with advanced data acquisition systems and software, it provides accurate real-time data, automated test control, comprehensive analysis, and detailed test result reports.
Electronic universal testing machines come in various models and load capacities and can be equipped with different fixtures, grips, and accessories to test different types of samples and meet specific testing standards.
Dual space and Single space difference
UnitedTest offer two kinds frame structure for the test space, dual test space and single test space.

Advantage of dual space structure: | Advantage of dual space structure: For some user, only or frequently to do tensile test, the tensile grips at lower place, easy for operation to install the specimen. (For some tester like 200KN and 300KN, frame is higher like 2600mm, the tensile grips at upper place is not very suitable to clamping the specimen) |
Key Advantages of EUTM
High Precision & Accuracy
Electronic control provides superior accuracy compared to hydraulic systems for small to medium force ranges.
Versatility
Can perform multiple test types like tension, compression, flexural, peeling, shear etc., with quick fixture changes and software configuration.
User-Friendly Operation
Intuitive software interfaces with automated test procedures and data analysis.
Quiet & Energy Efficient
Operates with minimal noise and lower power consumption than hydraulic alternatives.
Exceptional Quality
Enhance overall productivity and improve product quality. Maintain a competitive edge by quickly identifying and resolving any issues that may arise during the testing phase.
Powerful and user-Friendly Software and test solution pack.
UnitedTest's Fasttest V1.5 is compatible with the full range of UTS universal testing machines. With its ability to adapt to multiple testing scenarios, precise data processing performance, and convenient operation experience, it is widely used in material mechanics testing across industries such as automotive, aerospace, and electronics.
Intuitive and efficient operation experience: It features a workflow-based user interface, with operational logic tailored to the actual habits of testers. From setting test parameters and starting tests to saving data and generating reports, the entire process is clearly guided, allowing both professional laboratory personnel and frontline quality control staff to quickly get started.
High-precision and highly expandable data acquisition: Paired with the dedicated SED hardware controller, the data acquisition rate reaches 1000Hz, accurately capturing subtle changes in key data such as force and deformation during tests, meeting high-precision testing demands for various materials. The controller also supports plug-and-play expansion modules, allowing up to 14 external channels to be added flexibly according to future testing needs, effectively avoiding equipment obsolescence due to technological updates.

Comprehensive testing and customization capabilities: It includes a built-in library of pre-configured test methods compliant with multiple international and industry standards such as ASTM, ISO, BS, EN, and GB, easily accomplishing various mechanical tests including tension, compression, deformation, and creep failure. Furthermore, users can modify existing test templates or create custom test programs from scratch, accommodating personalized testing requirements for different materials and products.
Main interface: Easy to control and friendly interface

(1) Software can esily realize multiple load cells in one load frame; (50KN frame can use like 2KN, 500N load cell etc.)
(2) With open program interface, operator can easily customize special test methods
(3) Stepless displaying load value, deformation and peak value, automatic calibration;
(4) Record and smoothly switch the test curves: Load-Time, Deformation-Time, Load-Deformation and Load-Displacement, sampling quickly;
(5) Interactive mode to analyze and calculate mechanical performance parameter: automatic calculation of elastic modulus, yield strength, non-proportional elongation stress, etc. also with analysis mode of manual intervention to improve accuracy;
(6) With database to manage test data and automatic storage of all test data and curves;
(7) With powerful report editor to edit any forms of reports in short time.
Test Type Selection: Can built-in various test methods according customer requirement.

click Project will show different default test (more than 200 hundreds test Standard include already): 
And the test project can be add in future easily by us, or by customer themself.
Customer can custom test method no any restriction:

Load/Deformation PANEL
Project: for choose the test methods you need. Clear: to cleat the load, time etc., before test. Down arrow: to choose the other unit like KN, N, kgf, Lbf.

Curve display PANEL, Can choose different curve.

Test Report Editing
Select the item need display and test report;
Edit title, report header, footer etc., choose different curve for the report.
Can save the edition be a template.
The report can be EXCEL.
