ASTM D429-73 -Standard Testing Instruments

The Tensile testing Machine is highly recommended for evaluating the tensile strength of products and materials. The equipment is based on the Constant Rate of Traverse (CRT) principle. It is equipped with an upper jaw and a lower jaw.
Registered Design Patent No. 252611

Tensile strength is the stress at which a material breaks or permanently deforms. PRESTO Digital Tensile Tester is a state of the art, highly versatile equipment for checking the breaking strength of packaging related raw materials and finished products.

Tensile tests are commonly used to measure the mechanical properties of plastics. The force required to break a plastic sample specimen is an indication of the material's strength, while the extent to which the specimen stretches or elongates to that breaking point provides information about its ductility.

Tensile testing is an important process for evaluating the strength, ductility, and toughness of materials. By determining a material's Young's modulus, tensile testing can also provide information about a material's stiffness.
