How a Load Cell Works in an Instron Setup

  1. Sample Placement – The specimen is clamped in the UTM grips

  2. Force Application – Instron applies tensile, compressive, or flexural force

  3. Signal Conversion – The load cell converts mechanical force into electrical signals

  4. Data Display – Software translates readings into precise stress-strain curves

  5. Results Analysis – Researchers analyze performance for compliance and design
