FAQs

• Tensile test is known as a basic and universal engineering test to achieve material Parameters such as ultimate strength, yield strength, % elongation, % area of reduction and Young’s modulus.
• These important parameters obtained from the standard tensile testing are useful for the selection of engineering materials for any applications required.
• The tensile testing is carried out by applying longitudinal or axial load at a specific extension rate to a standard tensile specimen with known dimensions (gauge length and cross sectional area perpendicular to the load direction) till failure.
• The applied tensile load and extension are recorded during the test for the calculation of stress and strain.
• A range of universal standards provided by Professional societies such as American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM), British standard, JIS standard and DIN standard provides testing are Selected based on preferential uses.
• Each standard may contain a variety of test standards suitable for different mate ials, dimensions and fabrication history.
