Tensile Strength (Adhesives and Sealants)

The maximum stress a material subjected to stretching can withstand without tearing.

Tensile Strength (Automotive)

The amount of stretching a material can withstand before breaking.

Tensile Strength (Carpet)

The greatest stretching force a yarn, fabric or carpet can bear without breaking. High tensile strength means strong yarns or fabrics.

Tensile Strength (Construction)

The force per unit area that is applied at the time of rupture of the specimen

Tensile Strength (Corrosion)

In tensile testing, the ratio of maximum load to original cross-sectional area. Also called ultimate tensile strength.

Tensile Strength (Interior Design)

Breaking strain of fabrics or yarns

Tensile Strength (Metal)

In tensile testing, the ratio of the maximum force sustained to the original cross-sectional area.In tensile testing, the ratio of maximum load to original cross-sectional area. Also called ultimate strength.

Tensile Strength (Natural Gas)

The tensile stress necessary to cause failure in a short-time test. It is performed by pulling a specimen of specified dimension at a specified rate.

Tensile Strength (Paper)

Tensile strength relates to the stress and strain to which paper is subjected in its many end use applications. It is defined as the maximum force required to break a paper strip of a given width under prescribed laboratory conditions. Tensile strength is usually defined as pounds-per-inch width of the testing strip, or as kilograms per 15-millimeter width. Tensile strength is measured in both the grain and cross-grain directions, however, it is always greater in the grain direction.

Tensile Strength (Pavement)

Maximum stress that a material is capable of resisting under axial tensile loading based on the cross-sectional area of the specimen before loading.

Tensile Strength (Rope)

The resistance of rope to a force tending to break it; also called breaking strength, or the force that must be applied to break a rope.

Tensile Strength (Steel)

The maximum stress that a material can withstand. In tensile testing, the ratio of maximum load to original cross sectional area. Also called Ultimate Strength.

Tensile Strength (Textiles)

The longitudinal stress which a substance can bear without tearing apart.

Tensile Strength (Tires)

A measurement of the greatest longitudinal stress a tire cord can bear without breaking.

Tensile Strength (Wire)

The longitudinal stress required to break a specimen of prescribed dimension divided by the original cross-sectional area at the point of rupture (usually expressed in pounds per square inch).
