Tensile Strength Testing
National Technical Systems (NTS)
One of the most common mechanical testing methods, tensile testing, is used to determine the behavior of a sample while an axial stretching load is applied. These types of tests may be performed under ambient or controlled (heating or cooling) conditions to determine the tensile properties of a material.
