TÜV Rheinland Whitepaper - Considerations for Full-Section, Large-Sample Tensile Testing

Whitepaper: Considerations for Full-Section, Large-Sample Tensile Testing

Full-section tensile testing is required for many product types, both as a matter of quality control and to predict how a material will react under in situ forces.

The primary challenge of full-section tensile testing is often selecting the right grip format and procedure to match the tested sample. The wrong grip can fracture a test sample prematurely, leading to inaccurate test readings for maximum stress a sample is actually able to withstand.

This whitepaper evaluates the critical factors when conducting full-section tensile strength test including choosing proper grip methodology and how various methods of gripping may affect test results.
