“Tensile testing is a common material testing method to apply tension, load and force onto a sample until it breaks apart.”
Tensile testing has been used by quality control departments to assure that their parts & components have product integrity and safety.
Various testing methods
Destructive testing is used in order to discover a material’s mechanical and wear & tear characteristic, reaction, limits and capability. Some of the common methods are:
- Tensile Strength - measures the force or strength required to pull a sample apart i.e. until breakage / failure
- Compression - determines the specimen’s behavior and reaction under a compressive load i.e. when it is compressed, squashed, crushed or flattened
- Bending - determines the material’s ductility or resistance to fracture by deforming it into a curve surface or bend until the point of fracture
- Elongation - similar to the tensile except more focused on studying how far the material can stretch before its breaking point
- Crimp Joint Pull-off Force - pull-off test to determine the force needed to remove the wire-type samples from its joint
- Peel - measures the adhesion (stickiness) strength, especially for tape testing.
- Shear - determines strength of an adhesive i.e. glue / tape; that is applied between samples and pulled until the two samples are separated

Collects useful data
Data collected from a tensile test, allows manufacturers to:
- Assist with the product development & design process
- Comply with international & industrial standards
- Determine batch quality & consistency
- Reduce rework material costs & minimise wastage
