Ultimate Tensile Strength
What it is, how to measure it, and why it matters
Ultimate tensile strength (UTS) is a critical property used to determine how materials behave under tension. It defines the maximum stress a material can withstand before breaking.

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.
