Tension Test

A tension test is a method used to evaluate how a material reacts when stretched or pulled. In this test, a sample specimen is subjected to gradually increasing force until it stretches, deforms, or breaks. The primary goal is to measure the material’s strength, elasticity (ability to return to original shape), and ductility (extent it can stretch without breaking). The results help determine if the material is suitable for specific applications and ensure safety and quality in manufacturing processes. Tension tests are fundamental in materials science to understand performance under load.
