Chapter 5 Performing Tensile Tests

5-2

5.1 Introduction

The following uses an example of performing a tensile test at constant stroke speed to describe

how to perform a tensile test.

5.2 Attaching a Tensile Test Jig

1. Attaching the Upper Grip

The grip shown above is typical, but attach other grips as appropriate for the respective
configuration.

Crosshead

Load Cell

Tensile Joint

Upper Grip

Boss

Locknut
