Top 3 Possible Problems Caused During The Tensile Test

The tensile strength tester from Presto is considered to be the most commonly used testing equipment that will let you determine the tensile strength of materials with ease. The tensile strength tester from Presto has been designed to test the tensile strength of various materials like cosmetics, textiles, and several others. In addition to that, you can easily get an idea of how strong your material is.

Whenever you conduct the test using this lab testing equipment, then there is some sort of errors faced by product quality analysts. Thus, in this blog, we are going to provide you with the common errors caused during the tensile test and how you can easily overcome them. But before that, let’s discuss how this amazing testing instrument will help you improve your product quality.

How tensile strength tester helps to improve your product quality?

Tensile testing is one of the common procedures that have been used in various industries to determine the tensile strength of various materials. When the tensile force will be applied to the material, then it will eventually break it to get an accurate and precise analysis of its quality. Thus, most of the manufacturers make use of this tensile testing machine for the analysis of materials and products in QC labs and mainstream production chains.

The main purpose of this high-quality lab testing instrument is to study the tensile properties of materials. Thus, you will be able to create a quality analysis of your material and ensure whether your product is safe to use or not. With its high testing range and advanced peak load indicator for accurate readout, you will be able to test the tensile strength of materials at different capacities.

Top 3 problems quality engineers face while conducting tensile strength test

From testing the strength of plastic compounds to testing silicone compounds, this standardized testing instrument has been used in various industries to get an accurate analysis of product quality. Here is the list of the top 3 problems seen while conducting the tensile test and how you can easily troubleshoot them.

  • The socket is not working: If you are facing the problem of the socket not working then we suggest you check the socket beforehand. You can even check the fittings of the plug so that you can easily operate this testing machine.
  • Unexpected reading on load indicator: This is another common problem faced by quality engineers while conducting the tensile test. For this, you can place the specimen properly and make sure that your machine should be calibrated.
  • Unusual noise in your machine: If you get unusual noise in your testing machine, then this happens due to the bad alignment of the V belt drive. To troubleshoot this issue, you can align the V belt on the drive-by by opening the back panel.

These are the top 3 problems and their solutions that you can opt for while conducting the tensile strength test. You can also get information about Plastic Pipes Testing Instruments.
