PFW stages ’ribbon-crushing’ ceremony for new UTM
The College of Engineering, Technology, and Computer Science at Purdue University Fort Wayne demonstrated what its new, $330,000 universal testing machine can do during a ribbon-crushing ceremony on Monday (April 28) in the Support Services Building.
UTMs are used in quality control, research, and design validation across many industries. They measure the mechanical properties of materials by applying various loads and evaluating their response.
The college’s new UTM has a maximum load capacity of 337,000 lbs. It will be used primarily by civil engineering and construction management students and faculty. The associated courses deal with materials, concrete design, and steel design.
