About Us Case Studies Blog Contact search Services Capabilities Expertise Industries Served Quality 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. Back to all Capabilities PRINT EMAIL About Tensile Testing 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. Approaches 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: D882 D638 D412 Sample Considerations There are unique test protocols used for tensile testing of: Films Plastics Rubbery materials Metals Standard specimens or molded products can also be tested. Discuss your specific sample considerations with one of our scientists. Experience We frequently conduct tensile testing suppliers or consumers as a means of quality control.
