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.

What is tension testing?
Tension testing, also called tensile testing, is a core mechanical test used to determine how a material behaves when subjected to a uniaxial tensile force. It measures properties such as strength, ductility and elasticity under controlled conditions.
