Tensile testing
The 6NAPSE Group guarantees the tensile strength capacity of a part or assembly through laboratory tests.
Some objects or products must be able to support loads, weights and other types of efforts. Thus, a minimum level of strength and resistance to stress is required. To measure this mechanical resistance capacity, the 6NAPSE Group offers tensile tests.
Tensile testing
A tensile test is a physical and mechanical testing method. It gives the mechanical characteristics of a material: elastic behavior, plastic behavior and breaking strength.
Among its mechanical durability tests (fatigue, endurance), the 6NAPSE Group offers tensile tests.
Furthermore, like any mechanical test, the tensile test reproduces a simple stress, to simulate the forces and stresses in real conditions.
The obtained values are going to be essential for the following axes:
- Quality Control
- Basis of calculation and dimensioning of elements under stress
- Characterization of the transformation behavior of materials
- Choice of materials (comparison of characteristics)
Tensile testing gives several important values:
- Young’s modulus
- Elasticity limit
- Tensile strength / ultimate limit
- Elongation at break
- Poisson coefficient
Applications
