The Elastic Modulus or Young's Modulus is determined by the ratio of stress to strain below the elastic limit. Yield Strength is determined by the amount of stress that is required to begin plastic deformation of the test specimen. Ultimate Tensile Strength is determined by dividing the highest load experienced by the specimen before rupture by the original cross section of the test specimen. Our tests can determine important properties of your material determined by tensile tests, including: The Tensile Testing laboratory at WMT&R can provide standardized and customizable tests for a variety of industry applications and materials including metals, alloys, composites, polymers, ceramics, plastics, wood and more.
Breaking Load Testing of Full Size Bolts and Studs.Some of the tensile test procedures we can perform are: Tensile Tests can be performed at room temperature, elevated temperatures (-452 to 2200☏), with a variety of specimen types, fixtures and customizable test setups. WMT&R provides several types of tensile testing performed under standardized or customized specifications. A tensile test is commonly used to select a material for an application, for quality control, and to predict how a material will react under different types of forces. This is an important factor in metal forming process since brittle metals are more likely to rupture. The tensile strength of a metal is essentiality its ability to withstand tensile loads without failure. Tensile testing provides data on strength and ductility of metals under uniaxial tensile forces. Many properties of a material may be determined by use of tensile testing. The Tensile Testing lab at WMT&R has helped thousands of companies from around the world determine the behavior of a material with their Tensile Testing capabilities. The quality of materials used in manufacturing play a crucial role in the development of products.
By measuring the force required to elongate a specimen to breaking point, material properties can be determined that will allow design engineers to predict how materials and products will behave in their intended applications. Tensile Testing is one of the most widely used mechanical tests completed on materials.
