Tensile Testing
Tensile test is a test to detect a series of characteristics of materials under tensile load of material testing machine. This process is also known as a tensile strength test or tension test. It is one of the most common test methods in material mechanical property testing. It is mainly used to detect whether the material meets the prescribed standards and to study the performance of the material. The types of experiments include indoor tensile testing, high temperature tensile testing, low temperature tensile testing, etc. The high temperature tensile test can understand the failure of the material at high temperature; the low temperature tensile test can not only determine the strength and plasticity index of the material at low temperature, but also can be used to evaluate the brittleness of the material at low temperature. T, C&A Lab performs the tensile test in accordance with industry standards and specifications, including ASTM and ISO tensile test methods. Our tensile testing capabilities include, but are not limited to metals, plastics, elastomers, paper, composites, rubbers, fabrics, adhesives, films.
