Tensile strength is considered to be one of the most fundamental properties of the materials that will help to assess whether the material is able to withstand the tensile forces or not. By conducting a tensile strength test on the materials, we will be able to recognize the structural behavior of the material when intended use for different purposes. Therefore, we at Presto have designed one of the widely used lab testing instruments in the manufacturing industry i.e. tensile strength tester. This lab testing equipment will produce a high tensile force and is used to determine the tensile properties of various materials with ease.
At Presto, we have designed this tensile testing machine that is able to effectively assess the strength of various materials. In order to make this machine work effectively, we have embedded various parts in its main unit. These parts include grips, limit switch rod, cable gland, and many others. Here in this blog, we are going to provide you with brief information about this tensile strength tester and the different components provided in the main unit of this testing machine. So, let us get started!
What is a tensile strength test?
The tensile test or elongation test is one of the highly used tests that is used in various production verticals to determine the elongation strength as well as durability of materials under certain circumstances. When the material will be exposed to high tensile forces, then it will get deformed. Thus, testing the tensile strength of several materials will help you to measure the durability and strength of these materials with ease.
This quality test will help you to measure the tensile strength, yield strength as well as ductility of materials. When the specimen will be placed in the tensile strength testing machine designed by Presto then the movable grips will stretch the material to the extent till it breaks. You can read a brief about tensile testing and its importance in the manufacturing industry.
This testing machine is easy to use and provides you with high testing range. With advanced load indicators, it will be effective for the manufacturers to see accurate readout and storage test results. Below we have listed the features and technical specifications of this lab testing equipment.
