A Computerized Tensile Testing Machine (CTTM) is used to measure the mechanical properties of materials by applying a controlled tensile (pulling) load and recording the response digitally.
What it does
It determines properties such as:
All results are captured, displayed, and stored via computer-based data acquisition software.
