Tensile strength tests
Tensile strength tests measure how much pulling force a material can withstand before breaking. In this test, a sample is stretched steadily until it tears or deforms. The test determines the maximum stress the material can handle, helping assess its durability and suitability for specific applications. It’s a common way to evaluate metals, plastics, and other materials to ensure they meet safety and performance standards. The results guide engineers in choosing the right materials for their projects, ensuring reliability and safety in final products.
