Tensile testing is one of the most widely used methods for evaluating how a material responds to an axial stretching force. These tests can be conducted under ambient conditions or in controlled environments involving heating or cooling to determine a material’s tensile properties.

A broad range of materials—including metals, plastics, elastomers, paper, composites, rubber, textiles, adhesives, and films—can undergo tensile testing.
This method is commonly used to determine the maximum load (tensile strength) a material or product can withstand. Testing may be based on either elongation or load values.
Common Tensile Testing Results Include:
- Work at Break
- Chord Slope
- Stress
- Strain
- Young’s Modulus
- Maximum Load
- Deflection of Maximum Load
- Work at Maximum Load
- Stiffness
- Load at Break
- Deflection at Break
