In the metal tensile test, a clamped specimen is loaded with increasing tensile force F and deformed by an extension ΔL until it finally breaks. Important characteristic values such as the tensile strength, the yield or elongation limit and the elongation at break are determined, which are crucial for the quality assurance of materials and components.
The tensile test according to ISO 527-1 can be used to determine key mechanical properties of plastics such as tensile strength, yield strength and modulus of elasticity.
