UTM stands for Universal Testing Machine. It is used for tensile, compression, flexural, peel, and shear tests. When a UTM is equipped with a high-temperature environmental chamber, the same mechanical tests can be run at elevated temperatures, typically from around 50°C up to 300°C or higher, depending on the setup.
At Kiyo R&D LAB, these tests are carried out following international standards such as ASTM and ISO, along with customer-specific OEM specifications, to ensure the results are accepted in audits, validations, and certifications.
High-temperature mechanical testing is not limited to polymer manufacturers. Any industry where parts or materials see heat in service will benefit from this evaluation.
The High Temperature UTM Testing Lab @ Kiyo R&D LAB supports all of these segments with accurate mechanical data and clear test reports.
The high-temperature UTM facilities at Kiyo R&D LAB can handle a wide range of materials, including but not limited to:
If your component or material experiences heat during its actual service life, then high-temperature mechanical testing should be part of your validation plan.
As a specialized High Temperature UTM Testing Lab @ Kiyo R&D LAB, the facility includes advanced equipment and controlled procedures designed for repeatable, accurate results.
The UTM is integrated with a temperature-controlled chamber capable of reaching elevated temperatures (for example, 100°C, 150°C, 200°C, 250°C and more, depending on requirement). The chamber provides:
High-quality load cells ensure accurate force measurement even when thermal expansion and elevated conditions are present. Proper grips and fixtures are used to minimize slippage and alignment errors at high temperature.
Depending on the requirement and standard, extensometers or non-contact strain measurement methods may be used to capture strain and elongation accurately, even inside the heated chamber.
Tests are typically aligned with:
Where required, customer-specific OEM specifications are also followed.
Kiyo R&D LAB provides clear and structured reports that typically include:
Many labs can perform basic tensile tests, but high-temperature mechanical testing requires stable chambers, careful calibration, and trained operators. That is the difference with the High Temperature UTM Testing Lab @ Kiyo R&D LAB.
High-temperature UTM testing is not just a formality. The data directly affects design margins, safety factors, and warranty decisions.
Usually 5 to 10 test specimens per condition are recommended, depending on the standard and statistical requirements.
Kiyo R&D LAB is a NABL-accredited facility, and major mechanical tests are performed following NABL-compliant methods and quality systems.
If your material or component experiences heat in its actual application, room-temperature data alone is not enough. High-temperature mechanical testing is essential to avoid failures, warranty claims, and customer complaints. A dedicated High Temperature UTM Testing Lab @ Kiyo R&D LAB gives you the accurate, elevated-temperature tensile and compression data needed to design and validate products with confidence.
