Best Practice for Measurement of c

First of all, essential care is required when the sample is prepared for the testing. According to the testing standards, a dumbbell-shaped sample is required. The dimensions of the sample are defined in the standard that your material and application require. The aim of having a dumbbell shape is to create a weak area in the sample that is prone to breakage from a specified area. If breakage occurs other than the required area, the test procedure is declared as fail.

 

Next, you need to clamp the sample properly in the jaws of the machine. The wider edges of the dumbbell should be gripped completely. Only narrow portion of the sample should be left for tension. If the sample is not clamped properly, the results might vary due to the dispersion of tension throughout. 

 

Once everything is set, the tensile testing machine applies tension on the sample until the sample breaks. Usually, in metal testing, the test is stopped once the necking appears, depending upon the application of the material.
