Element’s tensile testing labs provide conditions for exposing materials to a static or slowly applied force, determining their ultimate tensile strength. We perform industry-leading tensile tests for virtually any metallic or non-metallic material.
Tensile testing is a destructive mechanical testing method that subjects a sample to uniaxial tension until failure. Our testing services allow us to deliver critical information relating to the strength, stiffness, and ductility of materials in line with your production requirements and business needs.
The Element advantage
Our laboratories utilize state-of-the-art digital instrumentation to report the ultimate tensile strength, maximum elongation, and reduction of the area of a material. From these measurements, we can determine the following properties: Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio, yield strength, and strain-hardening characteristics.
By working with Element, you benefit from fast, precise test results from our global network of laboratories. We make certain that the materials we test are safe, quality, compliant and fit for purpose.
