Why Tensile Testing Matters
Tensile testing is one of the most widely used mechanical tests for evaluating structural integrity and material performance. By applying a controlled axial load until failure, this test provides critical data on:
- Yield strength and ultimate tensile strength — ability to withstand applied forces.
- Elongation and ductility — deformation behavior before failure.
- Modulus of elasticity — stiffness and flexibility under load.
- Reduction of area — resistance to fracture and plastic deformation
For aerospace alloys, oil & gas pipelines, and defense applications, this data is essential to meet ASTM, ASME, AWS, MIL, and FAA standards, confirm weld quality, and ensure materials perform under demanding conditions.
