The Southwark Emery universal testing machine is the largest tension-compression testing machine of the Carleton Laboratory. The machine’s 20 ft (6 m) vertical span, 6 ft (1.8 m) crosshead width, as well as movable top and bottom crossheads make it a versatile tester for many specialty testing applications. The Satec Digital controller allows the machine to perform low-cycle fatigue tests as well. The S-E UTM is used for a variety of research, teaching, and commercial testing applications, ranging from the testing of concrete cylinders, masonry prisms, manhole covers, to full-scale scaffolding and shoring systems.
