What is Tensile Testing

Tensile testing is a way of determining how something will react when it is pulled apart – when a force is applied to it in tension.

Tensile testing is one of the simplest and most widely used mechanical tests. By measuring the force required to elongate a specimen to breaking point, material properties can be determined that will allow designers and quality managers to predict how materials and products will behave in their intended applications.

Tensile testing also provides data on the integrity and safety of materials, components and products, helping manufacturers ensure that their finished products are fit-for-purpose and manufactured to the highest quality.

Types of Tensile Testing

Types of tensile testing include:

• Adhesion/Bond Strength
• Crimp Joint Pull-off Force
• Peel
• Tear Resistant
