Key methods of penetration resistance testing
Penetration resistance measures a material’s ability to resist intrusion by a probe or object under applied force without tearing, cracking, or losing functional integrity.
Applications include:

Interpreting breakaway test results
Understanding test outputs is as crucial as conducting the tests themselves.
Slip torque vs bridge torque
Slip torque reflects the resistance encountered before rotation begins—a measure of seal integrity and usability.

Strain at maximum stress explained
Stress is the applied force, and strain is the resulting deformation. As a specimen is loaded, both stress and strain increase until stress reaches its peak value before the material starts to weaken.
