If you’re serious about engineering the things you build, you need to know the limits of the materials you’re working with. One important way to characterize materials is to test the tensile strength ...

Material testing is important in big industry, where manufacturers must be able to trust the properties of the raw materials they’re using. The rest of us generally take a supplier’s word for it that ...

This video illustrates the tensile strength testing of a consumer-grade rope carried out using the Admet's eXpert 7603 universal testing machine. The tensile rope grips are modeled in such a way that ...

Tensile testing is one of the most widely used methods for evaluating how a material responds to an axial stretching force. These tests can be conducted under ambient conditions or in controlled ...

Tinius Olsen tensile testing machines are being used by several key seat belt manufacturers all across the world in order to assess the strength and performance of seat belts and related components.

The CIEST Laboratory successfully completed testing pipe liner samples for “apparent hoop tensile strength” as described in ASTM D2290. The method uses a split disk to apply tensile forces to a hoop ...
