Tensile Testing Machine

The quality of Tensile Test Machine is defined in many ways. Its appearance, sheen, strength, moulding properties and so on. And, out of all these, strength is one important factor. Technically, it can be defined as the ability of the material to resist failure to physical stress. The failure could be fracture or deformation. Tensile testing is one important test to assess the strength of the material.

What is Tensile Test?

The ability of the material to withstand the external strain is put on test. Any test material, metal, rubber, cloth, plastic, etc. can be put on test. A worth noting thing is that end product cannot be tested. A sample needs to be prepared. For every material type, sample has different specifications, the shape and dimensions.

To start the test, the sample is clamped from both the ends. An outward pull applied on the sample until it fractures or deforms. Here, clamping of sample is very important. If the sample is dumb-bell shaped, the wide area should be completely clamped in the jaws of the machine. This concentrates the complete tension on the narrow area of the sample, instead of dispersing it throughout the sample. To perform this test, certainly a machine is required. Universal tensile testing machine is ideal as this is completely computerized and requires no human interference
