Steel mill universal testing machines (UTMs) are critical quality assurance infrastructure, primarily deployed for evaluating mechanical properties of steel products under tension, compression, and bending loads.
UTMs operate via hydraulic or electromechanical drive systems: Hydraulic models pressurize oil through pump injection; Electromechanical versions utilize motor-driven lead screws for load application. System architecture comprises a robust mainframe, intuitive control system, precision transducers, and specimen-friendly workbench.
Featuring ±0.5% accuracy and smooth loading without impact, the UTM integrates overload protection and travel limiters for operational safety. In steel mills, it conducts compressive, flexural, and shear strength testing across all steel grades, ensuring material compliance with stringent downstream industry specifications.
