Universal Testing Machine
Product Code : LSK-MTE-10501
Universal Testing Machine (SKU LSK-MTE-10501) is a hydraulic, four-column test frame for tensile and compression tests on materials, engineering parts and small structures, sized for classroom demonstrations and safe use by small student groups. It anchors strength-of-materials laboratories in engineering colleges, polytechnics and technical institutes. Built in Saha, Ambala, India, at the Science Lab Supplies factory on Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area, the UTM is sold factory-direct to colleges, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
A steel frame with four columns supports a hydraulic ram that pushes up a loading platform. The space above the platform takes compression tests on materials such as wood, brick and mortar; the space below it takes tensile tests. Force sensors, a digital load meter and a displacement indicator give the readings.

Applications and Experiments for the Universal Testing Machine
Students load a specimen, read the force and platform movement, then use the part's dimensions to work out stress and strain. The supplied steel specimens let them compare as-drawn and normalised steel, and optional parts add hardness, spring and beam experiments to the same frame.
- B.E./B.Tech civil and mechanical: tensile test on steel and the stress-strain relationship.
- Civil engineering materials: compression tests on wood, brick and mortar.
- With the optional Extensometer: Young's modulus of a tensile specimen in its elastic region.
- Diploma and TVET engineering modules on material properties and heat-treatment effects.
Standard Scope of Supply
The machine is supplied with its hydraulic ram, force sensors, digital load meter, digital displacement indicator and clear plastic guard, plus a set of steel tensile test specimens of different grades in as-drawn and normalised states. Optional, not included: Support Table and Cupboard, Extensometer, and test parts for hardness, springs and beams.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Ask for a quotation for one machine or several for a larger strength-of-materials lab. It gives the packing, delivery time and price for that quantity, and optional parts, the support table or other test and measurement instruments in India from this range can be added.
As a registered exporter holding an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Saudi Arabia, Oman, the Philippines, Nepal, Bangladesh and Zambia. Our contact page and enquiry cart both reach the sales team, and the lab tender page explains supply against laboratory equipment tenders in India.
Frequently Asked Questions
What can the Universal Testing Machine test?
Tensile tests below the loading platform and compression tests above it, on materials such as steel, wood, brick and mortar, as well as engineering parts and structures. Optional parts add Brinell hardness, coil spring, leaf spring and beam tests.
Are test specimens included?
Yes. A set of different grade steel tensile specimens comes with the machine, so students can compare steel in its as-drawn state with normalised steel.
Is the machine made by Science Lab Supplies?
Yes, Science Lab Supplies is the manufacturer. The frame, hydraulics and fittings are assembled at its Saha, Ambala factory and sold without a middleman.
How are students protected during a test?
A high-impact strength clear plastic guard shields the user while load is applied. Tests should still be run under staff supervision.
Related Test Parts for the Universal Testing Machine
Each of these optional parts fits this machine and turns it into a different experiment: shear, hardness, spring rate or beam bending. Ordering them with the frame gives a complete strength-of-materials practical set from one supplier and one quotation.
- Double Shear — shear strength of copper rods below the platform.
- Brinell Indenter — hardened steel ball and scaled magnifier.
- Coil Spring — spring rate and Hooke's law tests.
- Beam And Leaf Spring — simply supported beams and a vehicle-type leaf spring.
