Product Description

Testing on Universal Testing Machines (UTM)

About the Test:
The tensile test is conducted on various materials such as:

• Plates, pipes, bars
• Wires and thin foils
• Fine wires/foils with graphical representation
• TMT/TOR steel bars

Key Parameters Measured:

• Yield Stress: The stress at which a material starts to deform plastically.
• Ultimate Tensile Stress (UTS): The maximum stress a material can withstand without fracture.
• Elongation: Indicates the material's ductility.
• Stress-Strain Graph: Illustrates the material's behavior under load.
• Young's Modulus: Measures the material's stiffness.
• Proof Stress: Used for materials without a clear yield point, commonly measured at 0.2% deformation.

Key Concepts:

• Ductility: A material's ability to undergo plastic deformation before breaking, often expressed as % elongation.
• Malleability: A material's ability to deform under compressive stress, though not directly measured in tensile testing. An estimate can be derived from % reduction in the cross-sectional area.

Equipment Used:

• Universal Testing Machine (UTM)

This test is crucial for determining a material's strength, ductility, resilience, and toughness, ensuring it meets the required performance standards.
