When testing metals, the rate at which the specimen is being strained can affect important material properties, and thus affect important results such as offset yield and even tensile strength. Major metals testing standards such as ISO 6892 or ASTM E8 specify certain s...

When testing the mechanical properties of a specimen, being able to accurately and repeatedly measure the strain the specimen sees is crucial. Many testing standards require that a separate device, commonly known as an Extensometer, be used to ensure the most accurate strain data...

We are often asked how frequently an operator should balance the load cell during testing. Many lab managers require the operator to balance a load cell before the start of a new sample; others require balancing the load cell before testing every specimen. We believe that either ...

How To Determine Effective Gauge LengthIf gripping pressure on the clamped specimen is not uniform throughout the clamped area, a certain amount of specimen extension may take place within the grips. When this happens, if the elongation is measured from the test curve and a calcu...

Any successful gripping solution can be adversely affected by poor maintenance. Many common gripping techniques rely on friction or local surface deformation of the specimen to function. If the gripping surfaces become worn or contaminated, a loss in gripping efficiency occurs. U...
