Tensile strength and elongation are the two very important properties of most raw materials including plastic, rubber, fabric, leather, etc.; and finished products. It is very important to determine these two properties of raw materials accurately for their application in a particular field.

The tensile testing machine used in plastic industry helps to evaluate the tensile strength and elongation of plastic.

Salient Features of Tensile Testing Machine

• The test frame is constructed from heavy mild steel sections to give it the required rigidity and strength.
• The machine is provided with built in safety arrangements such as over-load and over-travel protection.
• There is a provision to automatically stop the motor of the machine on failure of the test specimen.
• The tensile testing equipment gives a corrosion resistant finish and is finished in hammertone stoving painting and bright chrome or zinc plating.
• For safe and easy operation, the machine is provided with electricals including push buttons, micro-switches and contactors.
• The equipment is supplied with some optional accessories including a variety of grips for holding different materials or for conducting different tests.

Application

The tensile testing Equipment are used in many different fields. Some of the areas where they are commonly used are:

• Plastic Industry
• Rubber Industry
• Leather Industry
• Textile Industry
• Paper Industry
