★What is a CTM machine?
A compression Testing Machine (CTM) is used to measure the compressive strength of a material. The CTM is designed to apply a compressive load to the sample until it fails. The machine consists of a piston that moves up and down inside a cylinder, applying the load to the sample
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
