What is a tension test?
Tensile testing is another name for tensile testing. This is basic materials science, where a sample is stretched in opposite directions by controlled amounts until it fails. Test results are often used to select the proper material for the desired application. Tensile testing is performed to maintain the quality of the final product and to analyze how materials perform when subjected to tension.
Properties measured by tensile test
The properties that can be measured by the results of a tensile test are the tensile strength, tensile strength, and stress of a material. Furthermore, these properties are used to further calculate Young's modulus, yield strength, strain hardening of the material and many other properties. Tensile testing is commonly used to obtain the mechanical properties of materials such as composite materials, rigid plastics, metals, rubber, fabrics, etc. Tensile testing can be easily performed using a high-quality Tensile Testing Machine.
How to prepare samples for tensile test?
Specimens for tensile testing are highly standardized cross-sectional specimens. Samples were made into dumbbell shapes using dumbbell cutting dies with larger ends. The larger end of the sample is used to securely clamp the two ends of the sample between the jaws provided by the stretching machine. While the middle region of the sample has a smaller cross-section, when tension is applied to it, the sample will deform or break from this region.
Tensile testing machine
Tensile/Tensile Testing Machines are designed to evaluate the tensile strength of different products produced in different production verticals. The operating principle of the test equipment is "constant traversing rate". The testing machine consists of two jaws, an upper jaw and a lower jaw. One jaw of the machine is held stationary by a load cell and the other end is movable. The movable jaw of the device moves at a fixed speed (or variable speed if the device is equipped with a VFD drive) to measure the tensile strength of the material.
