tensile strength testers

Tensile strength testers are devices used to measure how much pulling force a material can withstand before breaking. They work by securely gripping a sample and gradually pulling it apart at a controlled rate. The tester records the amount of force applied and the amount of elongation or stretching that occurs. This helps determine properties like strength, ductility, and durability. Tensile testing is essential in quality control and material research, ensuring products meet safety and performance standards. It applies to materials like metals, plastics, textiles, and composites, helping manufacturers understand their material’s limits.
