Brief Introduction to Tensile Testing Machines

 

 

Tensile testing machines are equipment specifically designed to perform tensile testing - a basic type of mechanical testing. They are frequently performed by engineers and materials scientists at manufacturing and research facilities everywhere. Tensile testing (or tensile testing) applies force to a material sample to measure the material response to tensile (or pulling) stress. Such testing can provide insight into a material mechanical properties and enable product designers to make informed decisions about when, where and how to use a given material.

 
Parts of Tensile Testing Machines
Load Cell

Load cells convert pulling force into a measurable electrical signal. Our load cells not only guarantee high product quality, but are also seamlessly compatible with all our machine components.

Extensometer

An extensometer is a strain measurement device that measures the strain of a specimen, also known as a strain measurement. Nearly all standards, such as ASTM and ISO, require strain measurements for tensile testing.

Sample Fixture

The specimen clamp provides the mechanical connection between the specimen and the tensile testing machine. Their function is to transmit the movement of the cross head to the specimen and to transmit the test force generated in the specimen to the load cell.

Moving Cross Head

A moving cross head is essentially a cross head that can be controlled to move up or down. In tensile testing, the cross head speed of the testing machine is directly related to the strain rate of the specimen.

Electronics

Electronics control the moving parts of the tensile testing machine. The speed of the cross head as well as the load rate can be controlled by the microprocessor in the servo controller (motor, feedback device and controller).

Software

Our testing software is an extremely user-friendly, wizard-guided, Windows-based solution that allows users to set up a testing system, configure and run tests, and display results.

Drive System

The drive system provides different levels of power and frequency to the motor of the tensile testing machine, and indirectly controls the motor's speed and torque.

Types of Tensile Testing Machines

There are two main types of tensile testing machines:

Digital Display Spring Fatigue Testing Machine

Hydraulic Tensile Testing Machine

A hydraulic tensile testing machine is a device that uses a hydraulic system to apply tensile loads to test samples to determine their properties. Hydraulic tensile testing machines are based on single- or double-acting pistons and use Pascal's law to apply large forces to the sample. In hydraulic servo systems, electronic servo valves are used to regulate the rate of movement of hydraulic oil. This adjustment controls the loading rate. Hydraulic testing machines are designed to test metal and concrete.

Single Column Universal Testing Machine

Electromechanical Tensile Testing Machine

An electromechanical tensile testing machine is a device that uses a variable speed motor to apply the tensile load required for testing. The machine works using a variable speed motor connected to 1-4 screws for moving the cross head through a reduction gearbox. A microprocessor is used to control the variable speed motor and regulate the speed of the cross head. Electromechanical testing machines designed to test: polymers, elastomer, composites and textiles.

Set up a Tensile Testing Machine

Depending on the laboratory, these tasks may be partially or fully automated, but the operator is always responsible for the correctness of the setup.

Test Method Selection

Once the sample is loaded into the system and the extensometer is connected, testing is ready to begin. When setting up a test, you will select the appropriate test method in the test software and enter any necessary parameters regarding test speed, sample measurements, or final standards. After you instruct the system to start, the machine will apply tensile force to your sample as specified by the test method and record data on the sample's response to the pressure. Once the test is complete, the sample can be removed and the data exported for further study.

Prepare Samples

The geometry of the specimen varies greatly depending on the material being tested and the testing method or standard used. Governing bodies such as ASTM and ISO standardize sample requirements for different materials so that their performance can be reliably compared across batches and manufacturers. Tensile specimens are typically machined or die-cast into a dog-bone shape, which provides a shoulder designed to be held by a testing machine clamp and a gauge length for measuring tensile properties. The dimensions of these shoulders, the gauge length between the shoulders, and the length and width of the entire specimen are specified by the testing standards.

Insert Sample into Fixture

Depending on the size and texture of the material, different clamp types and jaw surfaces may be required to successfully clamp the specimen. Clamps are available in a variety of force capabilities and come in rubber-coated, smooth, serrated and other surface types. To ensure that force is applied in the correct direction, different alignment devices can be used to assist the operator in inserting the specimen into the gripper.

Strain Measuring Device

Strain is a measurement of the deformation of a sample under stress and is an essential part of material characterization required by most testing standards. This measurement is typically made using strain measuring equipment such as extensometers. After the sample is placed in the fixture, a contact device such as a clip-on extensometer is attached to the sample.

Start Testing

Once the sample is loaded into the system and the extensometer is connected, testing is ready to begin. When setting up a test, you will select the appropriate test method in the test software and enter any necessary parameters regarding test speed, sample measurements, or final standards. After you instruct the system to start, the machine will apply tensile force to your sample as specified by the test method and record data on the sample's response to the pressure. Once the test is complete, the sample can be removed and the data exported for further study.
 
Typical Application for Tensile Testing Machines
 

Plastic Packaging

Tensile forces are applied to samples of plastic materials to help manufacturers determine the protective properties of plastics when subjected to tensile forces, such as those that occur during shipping.

Concrete-Reinforcing Steel Bar

Tensile testing of metal specimens is used to determine various mechanical properties such as yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, elongation and reduction of area to help manufacturers not only meet advertised quality and high performance specifications, and it complies with industry standards to ensure that products are safely put on the market.

Rubber Compounds for Tires

Test the elongation and tensile strength of tire rubber for quality control to avoid tire failures such as tread separation and blowout.

Medical Devices

Test the retention of hypodermic needles to their hubs, or test the tensile strength and elongation at break of products such as medical tubing, bandages, dressings and tapes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How can tensile test data be used in product design?

A: In product design, tensile testing can be used to test the basic mechanical properties of the materials used in the product. Whenever a new material is to be used in a product, whether as a new product or as part of an existing product, tensile strength testing is required to ensure that the material is fit for purpose.

Q: How to use tensile testing machine?

A: To perform a tensile test, an operator will load a specimen into the two specimen grips of the machine. After loading the specimen, the operator selects the correct rate of movement for the material type. The tester then pulls the specimen apart until failure. The extensometer will record the distance moved and plot the movement on a graph electronically. Once completed, the graphic results are interpreted to understand the properties and behavior of the material.

Q: Do tensile testing machines vary depending on the material?

A: No, tensile testing machines are primarily made of aluminum and steel because these materials are strong and stiff, minimizing deformation during testing.

Q: Can a tensile testing machine determine the cause of material failure?

A: No, tensile testing machines cannot be used to determine the cause of material failure. Tensile testers can be used to aid in failure analysis to show how a material behaves, but this does not clearly show what caused the material to fail.

Q: Can a tensile testing machine be used to test bio-materials?

A: Yes, it is possible to use a tensile testing machine to test bio-materials. In order for a medical device to be appropriately qualified for use, the biological material it replaces must be fully understood. Bone, bone tissue, and ligaments are among the bio-materials tested in tensile testing machines.

Q: What are the limitations of tensile testing machines?

A: The biggest limitation of tensile testing is that it is a destructive testing method, which means the parts tested cannot be used.

Q: How accurate is a tensile testing machine?

A: A tensile testing machine is an accurate form of testing. Most modern tensile testing machines comply with ISO 6892-1 or ASTM E8 standards. To meet these standards, machines must be built with an accuracy of plus or minus 1% of test measurements. For example, if the test measures 1 inch of elongation, the true elongation will be between 0.99 inches and 1.01 inches.

Q: What is the purpose of tensile testing?

A: Tensile testing is a destructive testing process that provides information about the tensile strength, yield strength, and ductility of metallic materials. It measures the force required to break a composite or plastic sample and the extent to which the sample stretches, or elongates,to the breaking point.

Q: Why is tensile strength needed?

A: Tensile strength is an important property of materials used in engineering and manufacturing applications. It is a critical factor in designing structures, such as buildings, bridges and aircraft, that can withstand forces due to tension or stretching.

Q: What are the advantages of tensile testing machine?

A: A tensile test machine can verify whether candidate materials pass the required strength and elongation requirements for a certain product. In the metals industry, tensile testing provides an opportunity to discover new alloys, their qualities, and the possible uses they might have.

Q: What is the most common tensile test?

A: ASTM D638 is the most common testing standard for determining the tensile properties of reinforced and non-reinforced plastics. With the use of plastics being at an all-time high, it is critical that manufacturers be able to properly gauge the mechanical strength of their materials.

Q: What is an example of a tensile test?

A: Imagine a strip of paper being pulled at its two ends with your fingers. You are applying a tensile force on the strip. When this tensile force crosses a certain threshold, the paper tears. The tensile stress at which this takes place is the tensile strength of that material, in this case paper.

Q: Why is tensile test important in steel?

A: The results of a tensile tester help engineers decide how and when to use a material when they are designing a project. This means that tensile testing helps guarantee the safety of a steel.

Q: What is the industrial use of tensile test?

A: The tensile strength tester machine is widely used in the metal as well as in the construction industry to perform quality tests on lightweight and high-strength materials. It will also be used to test the tensile strength of steel preparation and produce materials with the right ductility.

Q: How is a tensile test done?

A: A material is gripped at both ends by an apparatus, which slowly pulls lengthwise on the piece until it fractures. The pulling force is called a load, which is plotted against the material length change, or displacement. The load is converted to a stress value and the displacement is converted to a strain value.
