a mechanical test used to evaluate the tensile properties(e.g yield and tensile strength, ductility) of steel
A test in which a specimen of a standardised geometry is gripped at both ends and stretched at a slow controlled rate by axial loading until rupture occurs. The test provides information on the strength and ductility of the material tested. (See BS EN 10002-1: 1990).
For the tensile test, a tension sample is expanded until fracture while the required tension force as well as the sample elongation is measured. The tensile test serves the determination of characteristic material values like yield limit, tensile strength, fracture elongation, etc.

A controlled pull test on the crimp joint to determine its mechanical strength.
A tension-testing machine mechanically or hydraulically applies a tensile load to a specimen. The test establishes ultimate strength, yield strength, and ductility (elongation and reduction of area).
A destructive test performed on a specially machined specimen taken from material in its delivered condition to determine mechanical properties, such as tensile strength, yield strength, and percent elongation.
A method of measuring the resistance of yarn, or fabric to a force tending to stretch the specimen in one direction.
The testing of a tensile specimen to determine the yield strength, ultimate strength, elongation and reduction of area. (See ASTM method A 370).
A test in which a specimen is subjected to increasing longitudinal pulling stress until fracture occurs.
A standard test piece is gripped at either end by suitable apparatus in a testing machine which slowly exerts an axial pull so that the steel is stretched until it breaks. The test provides information on proof stress, yield point, tensile strength, elongation and reduction of area.
A mechanical test to determine yield strength, ultimate strength and elongation by applying tension to a specified specimen.
A destructive mechanical test whereby strength and ductility properties are measured. See tensile strength.
