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.

Applications

Compression / tensile tests on porous materials
Compression / tensile tests on polymers
Tests on trailing arms or metal supports

Tensile testing gives several important values:

Young’s modulus
Elasticity limit
Tensile strength / ultimate limit
Elongation at break
Poisson coefficient

These 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)

The 6NAPSE Group conducts other Mechanical Reliability Tests: compression tests, torsion tests and rotation tests.

Any part/system subject to repeated mechanical stress

From the single part to the complete system
