Universal Testing Machine (UTM) for Plastics and Plastic Pipes

The Bayerteq Universal Testing Machine is designed for comprehensive mechanical testing of both thermosetting and thermoplastic materials.

It accurately measures key properties such as tensile modulus, flexural modulus, compressive modulus, yield strength, tensile strength, fracture strength, elongation at break, compressive stress and strain, shear strength, peel strength, adhesion, tear resistance, and puncture resistance.

This versatile system is ideal for testing a wide range of materials, including engineering plastics, reinforced nylon, modified plastics, plastic profiles, plastic pipes, as well as plastic sheets and films. It serves as a reliable solution for material analysis and quality inspection across multiple sectors of the plastics industry.

Engineered with advanced manufacturing techniques, the GALAXY Series features robust construction and integrates the powerful BT measurement and control software. This combination ensures high rigidity, precision, and intelligent functionality, offering a multifunctional, efficient, and user-friendly testing experience.

To facilitate tensile and compression testing at elevated temperatures, Bayerteq has developed the UTM CH Series, featuring an integrated climate chamber positioned between the testing columns. This built-in design ensures precise thermal control during high-temperature testing without compromising machine stability or performance.

For testing smaller specimens, our standard UTM systems can be equipped with a compact climate chamber mounted on a swinging arm. This flexible setup allows users to easily switch between ambient and elevated temperature testing, maximizing versatility and efficiency without the need for reconfiguration.
