Claim Text:
1. A tensile test machine comprising: first and second gripping members which grip two different end portions of a sample on opposite sides of the sample in the horizontal direction, a tensile force applying means which applies a tensile force to the sample through one of the gripping members, a torque meter which has a moment receiving member for receiving a torsional moment and which outputs an electrical signal corresponding to the torsional moment applied to the moment receiving member, a tensile force transmitting member which extends in the radial direction of the central axis of the moment receiving member from the moment receiving member, and a support beam which supports the first gripping member and is rotatably connected to the tensile force transmitting member at a location spaced from the central axis of the moment receiving member in the radial direction of the central axis.
