Tensile Testing Procedures and Equipment

The video tutorial explains the process of conducting a tensile test on a stainless steel specimen with a 500 diameter. It covers engaging the specimen between crossheads, applying an extensometer to determine yield strength, and continuing the test to failure after removing the extensometer. The tutorial provides a comprehensive overview of the tensile testing procedure.

What is the diameter of the tensile specimen used in the test?

• 400 mm

• 300 mm

• 600 mm

• 500 mm

What material is the tensile specimen made of?

• Aluminum

• Stainless steel

• Copper

• Titanium

What device is used to determine the yield strength of the specimen?

• Micrometer

• Caliper

• Extensometer

• Thermometer

What should be done after determining the yield strength?

• Stop the test

• Remove the specimen

• Remove the extensometer and continue the test

• Increase the load

What is the final step in the tensile test procedure?

• Apply a new load

• Continue the test to failure

• Reapply the extensometer

• Measure the initial length
