Find and commission the right testing lab for your tensile test

The tensile test is one of the most important test methods in destructive material testing. Test labs use this method to determine what load a material can withstand until it deforms or cracks. Labs can also determine the elongation of the tested material after fracture within the scope of this test. In order to carry …out the tensile test, a so-called tensile specimen with standardized (rod-shaped) geometry is first created. This is then clamped in a testing machine and subjected to tensile stress. During the test, the machine records the elongation of the specimen as a function of the tensile force. The tensile test is mainly used for testing metals and plastics, but can also be used for other materials such as textiles and adhesives. Read more Hide
