What is a tensile testing machine? A tensile testing machine (also known as a universal material testing machine) is a test device used to measure the changes in physical properties of materials under mechanical loads such as tension, compression, and bending. The equipment can automatically complete the collection and calculation…
Tensile testing is fundamental in evaluating a material’s mechanical behavior, but even a well-equipped lab can produce misleading results if subtle issues are overlooked. Hidden variables like misaligned sensors or temperature inconsistencies can have a major impact on test outcomes. Whether you’re testing polymers, metals, or composites, avoiding these pitfalls…
