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 ...

ADMET has many years of experience in the material testing industry and this has shown the significance of equipping test machines with the exact grips and fixtures. Image Credit: Admet Inc. A machine ...

In tensile testing, wedge grips are used on both ends of the specimen to position the specimen in the test frame. Wedge grips incorporate two main components: the grip body and two grip inserts, as ...

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 ...

When we think of tensile specimen grips, our first mental image is probably that of the wedge grips that apply uniform clamping forces to the ends of flat test specimens. These were discussed in ...

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 ...
