Tensile test with E modulus
This test is to assess plastics when subjected to uniaxial tensile stress. The advantage of the tensile test is that even ductile materials can be tested to complete break point. The elasticity modulus (E modulus) serves as a parameter of comparison for different materials and is a measure of stiffness.

The test is possible within a temperature range from –40 ºC to +200 ºC.

Results of the test method:

  • Values for stress and strain such as:
  • Tensile modulus Et [MPa]
  • Tensile stress at yield σ Y [MPa]
  • Tensile strain at yield εY [ %]
  • Tensile stress at break σB [MPa]
  • Tensile strain at break εB [ %]
  • Nominal tensile strain at break εtB [ %]
