A tensile tester is used to determine the elongation, compression and bending characteristics of a material. Customers can provide their own sample specimens, but PTG/e also has a
cutting press for producing the dumbbell shaped specimens from a film or coating. These specimens are tested as specified in ISO 527. The stressstrain curves as well as all raw data can be
supplied.
