This video illustrates the tensile strength testing of a consumer-grade rope carried out using the Admet's eXpert 7603 universal testing machine. The tensile rope grips are modeled in such a way that ...

Compared to general structural steels, high tensile strength steel has increased strength making it ideal for the automotive industry where environmental problems and demands for collision safety are ...

If you’re serious about engineering the things you build, you need to know the limits of the materials you’re working with. One important way to characterize materials is to test the tensile strength ...

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 ...

Back in April 2015, my CW column focused on the two ASTM standardized test methods used for measuring the through-the-thickness, or interlaminar, tensile strength of composite laminates. Despite their ...

Material testing is important in big industry, where manufacturers must be able to trust the properties of the raw materials they’re using. The rest of us generally take a supplier’s word for it that ...

The performance of the final product depends heavily on the degree of cure - making it critical to ensure that the reaction goes to completion for the highest quality and reliability. Achieving this ...
