What is a UTM?
A universal testing machine (UTM), also known as a universal tester, materials testing machine or materials test frame, is used to test the tensile strength and compressive strength of materials. An earlier name for a tensile testing machine is a tensometer. The "universal" part of the name reflects that it can perform many standard tensile and compression tests on materials, components, and structures (in other words, that it is versatile).
How to Calculate Standard gauge length for UTM test specimen?
Standard gauge length for UTM test specimen calculator uses Gauge Length for Test Specimen = 5.65*(Column Cross Sectional Area^0.5) to calculate the Gauge Length for Test Specimen, The Standard gauge length for UTM test specimen formula is defined as the length of part of the test specimen for which change in length is to be noted. Gauge Length for Test Specimen is denoted by L symbol.
