Product Description.

 Tensile testing refers to a test method for determining the properties of a material under an axial tensile load. Using the data obtained from the tensile test, the elastic limit, elongation, elastic modulus, proportional limit, area reduction, tensile strength, yield point, yield strength and other tensile properties of the material can be determined. Creep data can be obtained from tensile tests conducted at elevated temperatures. The procedure for tensile testing of metals can be found in the ASTM E-8 standard. Methods for tensile testing of plastics are described in ASTM D-638, D-2289 (high strain rate), and D-882 (sheet). ASTM D-2343 standard specifies the tensile test method applicable to glass fibers; ASTM D-897 standard specifies the tensile test method applicable to adhesives; ASTM D-412 standard specifies the tensile test for hard rubber method.
