What is an elongation testing machine?

In industrial production, the elongation of a material is one of the important indicators to measure its ductility and toughness. The elongation testing machine is a device specially used to test the elongation of materials during the stretching process. It is widely used in quality control in metal, plastic, rubber, textile and other industries. This article will introduce in detail the definition, working principle, application fields and comparison of popular models in the market of elongation testing machines.

1. Definition of elongation testing machine

What is an elongation testing machine?

An elongation testing machine, also known as a tensile testing machine or tensile testing machine, is a device that measures the elongation of a material before it breaks by applying tensile force. It can accurately record the deformation of the material during the stress process and calculate the elongation (unit: percentage). The formula for calculating elongation is:

Elongation (%) = (length at break - original length) / original length × 100%

The equipment usually consists of a loading system, sensors, data acquisition system and control system, which can realize automated testing and high-precision data output.

2. Working principle of elongation testing machine

The working principle of the elongation testing machine mainly includes the following steps:

1.Hold sample: Fix the material to be tested in the upper and lower clamps of the machine to ensure firm clamping.

2.Apply tension: Applying gradually increasing tensile force to the sample through a motor or hydraulic system.

3.Measure deformation: The sensor records the deformation and stress of the material in real time.

4.data output: The system automatically calculates the elongation and generates a test report.

The following are examples of the main technical parameters of the elongation testing machine:
