Tensile Testing Help in Understanding Material Strength - 1

Labthink Instruments Co., Ltd. info@labthink.com +86-531-85068566 Tensile Testing Help in Understanding Material Strength Tensile strength is a crucial property for various materials, including polymers, fibers, rubber, and metals. It reflects a material's ability to resist breaking when pulled. Tensile testing provides a quantitative measure of a material's strength, expressed as the maximum force it can withstand before breaking. This data is essential for selecting appropriate materials for various applications. Beyond strength, tensile testing helps determine a material's elongation, which indicates its flexibility. This is particularly important for flexible plastics that may not break readily but can deform significantly under stress. By comparing the tensile strength and elongation of different materials under standardized conditions, engineers can make informed decisions during the material selection process. Labthink C610H Auto Tensile Tester is professionally applicable to measurement of tensile, peeling, deformation, tearing, heat sealing, adhesive, puncture force, opening force, pulling force and low speed unwrapping force as well as other properties of plastic films, composite materials, soft package materials, plastic flexible tube, adhesives, adhesive tapes, label stickers, medical plasters, release paper, protective films, combined caps, aluminum foils, diaphragms, back sheets, non-woven fabrics, rubber and paper, etc. 1

Tensile Testing Help in Understanding Material Strength - 2

Labthink Instruments Co., Ltd. info@labthink.com +86-531-85068566 Tensile testing is a standardized method used to determine this strength. Tensile testing machines come in various configurations, but the basic principle remains the same. A specially prepared sample of the material is secured between grips and subjected to a pulling force that gradually increases. This force and the resulting elongation (length change) of the sample are measured throughout the test. Standardized test methods, like ASTM D638 and ISO 527, ensure consistency in testing procedures. The choice of a specific...
