Built to Test, Proven to Last the Ultimate Partner for Technical Textile Durability
Universal Testing Machine (UTM) in the technical textile world is like the ultimate test for fabric endurance. It’s not just about pulling fabrics apart—it’s about pushing them to their limits, ensuring they can handle extreme forces, stretching, tearing, and compression. From high-tension ropes used in aerospace to protective gear that shields lives, the UTM measures every inch of strength and flexibility needed for performance.
It’s the tool that tells you if a fabric can stand the pressure, adapt to bending, or stretch without breaking, which is critical for creating game-changing materials. Whether you’re crafting next-gen medical wear or high-durability automotive textiles, the UTM keeps your materials on point.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) – Universal Testing Machines
A universal testing machine (UTM), also known as a UTM machine or tensile test machine, is a type of testing machine used to evaluate the mechanical properties of materials such as tensile strength, elongation, and compressive strength. It is widely used across industries for quality assurance and R&D applications.
A UTM testing system applies a controlled force – usually tension or compression – on a material using grips and a motorized crosshead. During testing, the UTM universal testing machine records the applied force and material elongation to assess its performance under load.
A tensile testing machine, also known as a tensile strength tester, measures how much force a material can handle when stretched before it breaks. This is crucial for evaluating the quality and durability of metals, plastics, rubbers, textiles, and composites.
Our UTM machines are designed to test a wide range of materials including metals, polymers, rubbers, textiles, paper, and more. Each universal tensile testing machine is equipped with adaptable fixtures to meet various industry testing standards.
The universal testing machine price varies depending on load capacity, software features, automation level, and customization options. At Flexitest, we offer competitively priced, high-performance machines tailored to your application needs.
Yes, our universal testing machines are built for flexibility and can conduct tensile, compression, bend, peel, and shear tests – making them versatile for multi-purpose testing.
A typical UTM machine consists of a load cell, extensometer, grips, crosshead, drive system, control electronics, and intuitive testing software. These components work together to ensure precise and repeatable test results.
A tensile strength tester helps determine how a material will behave under stress, ensuring the product meets quality and safety standards before going into production or the market.
