Tensile Testing
Tensile testing provides information on the strength of a material and the amount it will elongate, as tension is created through the application of force.
Tensile testing provides information on the strength of a material and the amount it will elongate, as tension is created through the application of force.
Tensile tests measure the tensile force required to stretch, yield, and fracture a material and the extent to which the material elongates to the yield or failure point.
Tensile testing is often used as a quality control check of the material or parts. It is also used frequently as input during the design phase of a material or molded product.
Tensile tests are often used to measure the loss in mechanical strength as a function of use, accelerated aging, or chemical exposure.
ASTM Standards:
There are unique test protocols used for tensile testing of:
Standard specimens or molded products can also be tested.
