We perform tensile testing of metallic and non-metallic materials to determine their mechanical properties. The test enables the evaluation of material strength, deformation behavior, and elongation under tensile loading.
Method
Tensile testing is one of the most fundamental and widely used methods of mechanical testing. During the test, a tensile force is applied to the specimen, and its response is monitored until the required mechanical characteristics are determined or the specimen fails.
One of the most important parameters determined by this method is the Ultimate Tensile Strength (UTS), which represents the maximum stress sustained by the material during the test. Depending on the material properties, this value may or may not correspond to the stress at fracture.
We perform tensile testing in accordance with commonly used international standards, including:
- ASTM D638 – Tensile Testing of Plastics
- ISO 527-2 – Tensile Testing of Plastics
- ASTM D412 – Tensile Testing of Elastomers
- ISO 37 – Tensile Testing of Elastomers
- ASTM E8/E8M – Tensile Testing of Metallic Materials
- ISO 6892 – Tensile Testing of Metallic Materials
Equipment
Tensile tests are carried out using electromechanical universal testing machines designed for mechanical material testing. The available equipment enables accurate and standardized determination of the mechanical properties of a wide range of metallic and non-metallic materials.
