Compared to general structural steels, high tensile strength steel has increased strength making it ideal for the automotive industry where environmental problems and demands for collision safety are ...

When we think of tensile specimen grips, our first mental image is probably that of the wedge grips that apply uniform clamping forces to the ends of flat test specimens. These were discussed in ...

In tensile testing, wedge grips are used on both ends of the specimen to position the specimen in the test frame. Wedge grips incorporate two main components: the grip body and two grip inserts, as ...

Material testing is important in big industry, where manufacturers must be able to trust the properties of the raw materials they’re using. The rest of us generally take a supplier’s word for it that ...

Cellulose is well known as the principal component of plants. It is also the most plentiful carbohydrate in the world, used as a raw material in textile and paper manufacturing since antiquity. In ...

The CIEST Laboratory successfully completed testing pipe liner samples for “apparent hoop tensile strength” as described in ASTM D2290. The method uses a split disk to apply tensile forces to a hoop ...
