In the present paper theoretical as well as practical investigation has been carried out to evaluate the compression and tensile of some practical material. The testing is performed by universal Testing Machine (UTM). UTM is used to test the tensile stress and compressive strength of materials. It is named after the fact that it can perform many standard tensile and compression tests on materials, components and strictures. The requirements for tensile and compression strength values and the methods for testing these properties are specified in various standards for a wide variety of materials. Testing can be performed on machined material samples or on full size or scale models of actual component. It is found that stress initially increases against strain and then decreases. Further it is observed that displacement increase with increasing time for 12:00 mm sample diameter. The variation of stress abruptly increases with increasing strain and displacement slowly increases and after fixed point displacement abruptly increases.
