Tensile testing is performed by elongating a specimen and measuring the load carried by the specimen.
From a knowledge of the specimen dimensions, the load and deflection data can be translated into a stress-strain curve. A variety of tensile properties can be extracted from the stress-strain curve.

Definition |
| Tensile Strain at Break |
Tensile strain corresponding to the point of rupture. |
| Nominal Tensile Strain at Break |
Tensile strain at the tensile stress at break. |
| Tensile Strain at Yield |
Tensile strain corresponding to the yield (an increase in strain does not result in an increase in stress). |
| Tensile Stress at Break |
Tensile stress corresponding to the point of rupture. |
| Tensile Stress at 50% Strain |
Tensile stress recorded at 50% strain. |
| Tensile Stresss at Yield |
Tensile stress corresponding to the yield point (an increase in strain does not result in an increase in stress). |
| Tensile Modulus |
Often referred to as Young's modulus, or the modulus of elasticity, tensile modulus is the slope of a secant line between 0.05% and 0.25% strain on a stress-strain plot. Tensile modulus is calculated using the formula:
Et=(σ2-σ1)/(ε2-ε1)
where ε1 is a strain of 0.0005,
ε2 is a strain of 0.0025,
σ1 is the stress at ε1,
and σ2 is the stress at ε2. |
