Tensile Strength with Plots


Test ID

M-130

Description

A universal testing machine (UTM) is used to determine tensile strength at yield or break.  The test specimen is loaded between the grips of the UTM.  A mechanical (contact) or video (non-contact) extensometer is used to measure strain.  The specimen is stretched at a constant speed while load and strain are recorded.  The speed of testing is specified by the relevant standard.

Options

Measurements at speeds slower than 1 mm/min may be assessed an additional charge if excessive instrument time is required.

Standards

  • ASTM D638
  • ASTM E8
  • ISO 527-1

Data
