The revision of the popular TENSOLAB semi-automatic single-column strength tester was announced during the last ITMA in Barcelona. The new TENSOLAB 4 represents the forefront of testing flexibility, ...

The CIEST Laboratory successfully completed testing pipe liner samples for “apparent hoop tensile strength” as described in ASTM D2290. The method uses a split disk to apply tensile forces to a hoop ...

What is a Tensile Test? A tensile test pulls (or stretches) a sample and, as a result, the extensibility/elongation and tensile strength properties are measured in ...

Cellulose is well known as the principal component of plants. It is also the most plentiful carbohydrate in the world, used as a raw material in textile and paper manufacturing since antiquity. In ...

Ultimate tensile strength (UTS), often shortened to tensile strength (TS), ultimate strength, or Ftu within equations, is the maximum stress that a material can withstand while being stretched or ...

Brittle rocks, such as granite, sandstone and marble, display markedly different behaviour in tension compared with compression. Their tensile strength is typically one order of magnitude lower than ...
