Tensile testing, also known as tension testing, is a fundamental materials science test in which a sample is subjected to uniaxial tension until failure. The results from the test are commonly used to select a material for an application, for quality control, and to predict how a material will react under other types of forces. Properties that are directly measured via a tensile test are ultimate tensile strength, percentage elongation and percentage reduction in area. Tensile testing includes tensile test with 0.2% proof stress, Yield Stress, % Elongation, %Reduction area.
