Tensile & Hot Tensile Testing
Purpose: Assessment of metallic material performance under controlled uniaxial tensile loading.
The procedure determines essential mechanical properties including yield strength, 0.2% proof strength, ultimate tensile strength (UTS), and ductility characteristics. Testing is carried out using four calibrated universal machines with capacities from 100 kN to 1000 kN, ensuring accurate and standards-compliant evaluation across a broad range of materials and specimen configurations.
Standards:
ASTM A370, ASTM E8/E8M , ASTM B557, ASTM E21, ASTM F606, AWS B4.0, AWS D1.1, API 1104, ASME SEC. IX, BS EN ISO 6892-1, BS EN ISO 6892-2, BS EN ISO 898-1, ISO 4136, ISO 3506-1, JIS B 1054, DNV-OS-F101
Measured Properties:
- Yield tensile strength (YS)
- Ultimate tensile strength (UTS)
- Elongation
- Reduction of area
- Ductility
- Elastic modulus
Hot Tensile Test
Purpose: To determine the mechanical properties of materials at elevated temperatures by evaluating parameters such as yield strength, tensile strength, and ductility under conditions that simulate actual high-temperature service environments. The testing system is capable of operating at temperatures up to 1000 °C and provides graphical output of the test results.
Standards:
ASTM E21
Measured Properties:
