Can I check the flexural strength of a concrete beam on UTM, or does it need a flexural strength testing machine only?

Yes you can check flexural strength of concrete beam on UTM.

3-Point bend or Bend test is done in compression mode in Universal Testing Machine where a length of material is kept on support at 2 ends (the unsupported length is defined as per standard) and a plunger will apply the pressure at the centre of the material till the certain extension or till it breaks. Final results calculated are ‘Flexural Modulus’.
