The form of the material is another important factor for choosing universal testing machine. Your material’s form will indicate the type of fixture you required. Fixtures range from huge tensile grip to tiny grips. Specimen form also indicates the distance between columns. Large distance means the crosshead and base must be strong to minimize deflection.
