Tensile Strength

 

 

Tensile strength at break is the maximum amount of stress required to fail or break the material under tension loading test conditions. Tensile strength tests are typically performed according to test procedure standards such as ASTM D-638 or ISO 527-1, ASTM D-1708, ASTM D-2289 (plastics at high strain rates), and ASTM D-882 (thin plastic sheets) as well as other OEM proprietary standards.
