UTM Tensile Strength Test

The UTM (Universal Testing Machine) is commonly used to perform tensile strength tests on various materials. The tensile strength test measures the maximum amount of tensile force a material can withstand before breaking or undergoing permanent deformation. The primary purpose of a tensile strength test is to determine how a material responds to an applied tensile force. It helps in understanding the material’s mechanical properties, such as its strength, ductility, and elasticity. By performing tensile strength tests, engineers and researchers gain insights into the material’s behavior under tension, which helps in material selection, quality control, and the development of new materials and products.
