Universal Testing Machine (UTM) – SFUTM-2000CSIG

Here is a summary and checklist for the machine you specified — a 200 ton / 2000 kN capacity Universal Testing Machine (UTM) — along with some caveats and questions to verify before purchase.

✅ What you’ve specified

• Brand: SF
• Model: SFUTM-2000CSIG
• Capacity: 2000 kN (≈200 ton)
• Country of Origin / Manufacturer: China

🛠️ What to check / verify : Since I couldn’t locate a detailed official datasheet specifically for the SFUTM-2000CSIG model, here are important parameters you should be sure to obtain and confirm with the vendor:

• Frame type / Drive system :  Is it hydraulic, electro-hydraulic, or electromechanical? Many high-capacity machines (2 MN / 2000 kN) use hydraulic or servo-hydraulic drives.

  • Number of columns (4-column, 6-column) and stiffness of the frame.

• Load measurement & accuracy :

• What class of load cell is used (e.g., Class 0.5, 1)?

• What resolution and repeatability can be expected?

• Does the machine comply with relevant standards (e.g., ISO 7500-1, ASTM E4, EN 10002-1) for force measurement?

• Test space / stroke / travel

  • Maximum tensile test space (distance between grips) and compression test space (between ram and platen) — you need to ensure your specimen size fits.

  • Crosshead travel / speed: What is the speed range (mm/min), can it do very slow or very fast tests?

• Fixtures / grips / platens

  • Does it come with jaws for tensile testing, platens for compression, bending fixtures if applicable?

  • Are these suitable for the material types you’re testing (metals, concrete, bolts, etc.)? Many 2000 kN UTMs are used for steel rebars, bolts, structural materials.

• Software & data acquisition

  • What software is used for controlling the machine and capturing data? Are test curves, stress-strain, etc supported?

  • Is there calibration software, report export (Excel, PDF), etc?

• Safety & Standards Compliance

  • Emergency stop, overload protection, stroke limits.

  • Does the machine meet local calibration and certification requirements (for Bangladesh context) if you intend to use it for quality control / regulatory tests?

• Installation, footprint & infrastructure

  • The machine is large/heavy — what are the dimensions, weight, and required floor load bearing? Example: A 2000 kN machine specification lists weight ~ 7500 kg.

  • What power supply does it require (voltage, phases, etc)?

  • Ambient conditions: temperature, humidity, vibration, etc.

• After-sales service, calibration, spares

  • Given the machine is made in China, check local representation in Bangladesh (or service partner) for calibration, maintenance, spare parts.

  • Ask about warranty, and whether they provide certificate of calibration / traceability.

📌 My opinion on your specification

• A 2000 kN capacity is a substantial machine and appropriate for heavy structural testing (e.g., steel bars, rebars, large components) rather than small materials.

• Specify whether this machine will be used for tensile, compression, bending, or all of them — many UTMs support multiple test modes, but you must ensure the required fixtures & space are included.

• Given the brand “SF” and model “SFUTM-2000CSIG” are not easily found in my search, you should ask for full technical datasheet, certification, reference installations, and possibly visit a demonstration.

• Make sure shipping, installation, civil works (foundation, floor), and calibration are accounted for in cost, especially in Bangladesh.

If you like, I can search for alternative machines (from other brands) with similar capacity (2000 kN) available in Bangladesh / South Asia, compare pricing/specs, and help you evaluate this purchase. Would that be helpful?
