The Universal Materials Tester mod. CETR-UMT 2 is capable of performing standard tensile tests as per ASTM D638-02 and ASTM D3039-00. In addition UMT can also be successfully used for performing repetitive tension, torsion, compression and twisting tests for fatigue, if performed for sufficient number of test cycles. Test specimens; sheets, plates and molded plastics, prepared by either into “dog bone” shapes as specified in the ASTM D638 or into thin flat strips per ASTM D3039. UMT users have option of performing tensile tests in either load-controlled or displacement-control mode. The force (Fz), and displacement (Z-carriage position) can be recorded as a function of time during the test. In force-controlled tests, the displacement Z changes with the test cycles; in displacement-controlled test, the force Fz changes as the test progresses.

The Universal Materials Tester mod. CETR-UMT 2 is capable of performing standard tensile tests as per
ASTM D638-02 and ASTM D3039-00. In addition UMT can also be successfully used for performing
repetitive tension, torsion, compression and twisting tests for fatigue, if performed for sufficient number
of test cycles.
Test specimens; sheets, plates and molded plastics, prepared by either into “dog bone” shapes as
specified in the ASTM D638 or into thin flat strips per ASTM D3039. UMT users have option of
performing tensile tests in either load-controlled or displacement-control mode. The force (Fz), and
displacement (Z-carriage position) can be recorded as a function of time during the test.
In force-controlled tests, the displacement Z changes with the test cycles; in displacement-controlled
test, the force Fz changes as the test progresses.
UMT Hardware Configuration:
CETR-UMT 2 system with load sensor (maximum 1200N), lower stationary table and specimen grips.
