The tensile testing machine is one of the significant and popularly used equipments to test the mechanical strength of the sample. This machine works by applying a pulling force on the sample until it fails or breaks, in response the stresses applied is measured. The test is quite important as it helps in determining the strength of the material and also the amount of force required to elongate it.
Machine makers launch a wide variety of machines, which are capable of testing the various aspect of the sample. Most of the plastic testing machines and other material testing equipment undergo various tests before being put into application. Most of these machines are designed as per the demand of the industry.
Various industries use variant samples in their manufacturing processes. The tensile strength testing equipment is crucial as they need to check the quality of raw material for various factors. The most common industry that needs this equipment is the plastic and rubber industry. The main reasons for its application include:
- To test the strength and rigidity of the carbon reinforces plastics
- To test whether the plastic or rubber sample can withstand the external physical stress
- Identifying the elongation or yielding strength of the sample
- Evaluation of interlocking rubber and plastic components’ strength
- Testing the strength of plastic or rubber labels
- Measuring the quality of products made from plastic or rubber
The test results are quite significant as they help in deciding the design and material, for making a particular item. It also helps in the development of new products, quality control and safety of the equipment.
In many cases, the test results are crucial because if the sample does not comply with the set standards, it would not only lead to a monetary loss but also lead to loss of trust; hence the market value too.
