How tensile testing specimen prepared and mounted for a tensile test?

Tensile strength testing is a fundamental quality assurance procedure used to determine the maximum load a material can withstand without breaking or deforming. Manufacturers in various industries perform quality control tests to verify the resistance of materials under tensile forces.

By quantifying a material’s stress tolerance, manufacturers can make informed decisions and ensure delivery of high-quality materials to their customers. Therefore, with the help of Presto Tensile Strength Tester, manufacturers can easily perform tensile strength testing on their materials, thereby ensuring accurate delivery of products to their customers.

Presto is one of the leading tensile testing machine manufacturers in Asia and develops these quality testers with highly advanced features. The digital model of the Presto tensile strength tester helps manufacturers ensure the accuracy of product quality.

In this blog, we will discuss brief information about Presto Tensile Strength Tester and how you can easily install the sample in this tester for accurate testing.

Introduction to tensile testing and its importance in various industries.

As mentioned above, tensile strength testing is a widely used quality assurance method that helps manufacturers confirm the durability of materials under the influence of tensile forces. Tensile strength testing plays a vital role in various industries such as automotive, aerospace, construction, etc. By accurately measuring the tensile strength of materials, manufacturers can easily make informed judgments about a product’s suitability for its intended applications. Achieving this level of accuracy in test results is facilitated by the use of standardized laboratory testing equipment, ensuring that manufacturers perform accurate quality assessments. Presto’s digital tensile strength testing machine is designed in accordance with industry standards and operates on the principle of constant travel speed. It has been equipped with an upper and lower jaw, making it easier for manufacturers to carry out quality checks on materials.

Now let’s talk about brief information about Presto tensile strength tester.

All about the Presto Digital Tensile Strength Tester

The Presto tensile testing machine is highly recommended for testing the tensile strength of various products and materials. This device works on the principle of constant speed of motion (CRT) and has an upper jaw and a lower jaw.

The upper jaw remains stationary, while the lower jaw can be moved smoothly and at a predetermined fixed speed using a motor. Samples are held securely between these two jaws and the lower jaw is gradually adjusted to determine the tensile strength of the sample. The motor is equipped with a gear and lead screw that provide precise control. Additionally, the machine has a special sensor connected to a load cell that accurately measures the load applied to the fixed jaw and displays the reading in kilograms in digital format.

To improve stability and durability, the Presto tensile testing machine uses case-hardened lead screws. It is also equipped with a proven motor and complies with electrical wiring according to the CE standard. The machine’s modular design facilitates maintenance and operation and ensures a hassle-free experience. This digital tensile strength testing machine makes it easy for manufacturers to perform tensile strength testing on materials. With this quality testing device you can easily perform tensile strength tests on materials.

Now let’s briefly talk about the features and technical specifications of these quality testing devices.

Now let’s take a brief look at how you can easily prepare the test sample and place it in this quality testing device.

How is the test sample prepared and placed in the Presto digital tensile tester?

To accurately prepare the test sample and mount it on a Presto digital tensile tester, manufacturers can simply follow the steps listed below:

Preparing a rectangular sample

Cut a strip 25 mm wide or whatever width you want until you get the right length.

Now mark the sample strip as follows to measure the measurement length.

Marking should be done in such a way that the distance between the machine clamps exactly matches the measurement length after clamping the sample.

This distance may vary from one test standard to another.
Clamp the specimen at both ends to ensure adequate and uniform clamping force on the specimen at both ends.

Sample Placement

Place the bottom of the sample between the bottom fixed clamps and tighten the clamp firmly. (For pneumatic tightening, go to menu, press tightening ON/OFF and select ON for under tightening.)

Now lift the upper moving handle so that the sample can easily reach the handles. & Place the lower end of the sample between the lower clamps and tighten the clamp firmly. (Go to menu, press clamp ON/OFF and select ON for top clamp).

Ensure that the lower limit ring is placed in a position that maintains a minimum clearance of 25mm. Make sure the sample is placed in the center of the jaws.

This allows you to easily prepare the sample and place it in the tensile testing machine.
