Tensile Testing

Tensile Testing is one of the most fundamental mechanical testing performed on a material. Tensile Testing is designed to determine the maximum load (tensile strength) that a material or a product can withstand.

STEMart performs a variety of tensile testing to determine the behaviors of a material or medical device product while it is under a tensile load.

• ASTM
• ISO

• Tensile Adhesion Testing: Measure the resistance of a coating to separate from a substrate applying a perpendicular tensile force.
• Tensile Shear Testing: Measure the shear strength of an adhesive bond.
• Tensile Grab Testing: Determine the breaking strength and elongation of most textile fabrics.
• Tensile Pulling Testing: Measure seal strength to pull apart two bonded surfaces.
• Tensile Creep Testing: Determine the deformation and strength behaviors of a material under long-term static tensile stress.
