Tensile Test – Method & Application

Schematic representation tensile test

The tensile test is a fundamental method for determining the mechanical properties of metallic materials. A standardized specimen is subjected to controlled tensile loading until fracture. The values determined – tensile strength, elongation and yield strength – provide information on the material behavior under tensile load.

The tensile test is used in quality assurance, material development and acceptance testing of components and welds. Testing is performed according to international standards such as DIN EN ISO 6892-1, which specifies requirements for specimen geometry, testing speed and evaluation.

How the Tensile Test Works

Schematic representation of a stress-strain diagram

Stress-Strain Diagram

Technical Background and Procedure

The tensile test measures the mechanical load capacity of a material by controlled elongation of a standardized specimen until fracture. Force and elongation are recorded to create a stress-strain diagram.

  1. Step 1 – Specimen preparation

    Preparation and measurement of the specimen according to standards to ensure reproducible results.

  2. Step 2 – Clamping the specimen

    The specimen is clamped into the testing machine and checked for correct alignment.

  3. Step 3 – Loading until fracture

    The specimen is elongated at a defined speed while force and elongation are continuously recorded.

  4. Step 4 – Evaluation & Test Report

    Determination of tensile strength, elongation and yield strength and preparation of a standardized test report.

Typical Applications
  • Quality control of metallic materials
  • Acceptance testing of components and welds
  • Research and development of new materials
  • Comparison of material batches and suppliers

We support you in selecting the right testing method and provide precise results for your material testing – fast, reliable and accredited.
