Advantages of High Ultimate Tensile Strength
To calculate ultimate tensile strength in practice, a specimen is mounted in a tensile testing machine and stretched at a constant rate until it breaks. The machine measures both force and elongation, recording data throughout the test.

How to Calculate UTS
This gives a value in N/mm² or MPa. During a tensile test, the material is pulled until it breaks. The highest recorded force, divided by the original cross-sectional area, gives the UTS. This value is the peak on a stress-strain curve.
