Elevated Temperature Tensile Testing (High Temperature Test)

Elevated Temperature Tensile Testing or High Temperature Tensile Test is a proven method of evaluating the behavior of materials under a combination of heat and tension. When performing an elevated temperature tensile test, the specimen is placed inside a furnace on our test carousel, which is capable of processing up to three specimens at a time. Our computer-controlled system heats the specimen to the required temperature, then allows it to soak. Next, the specimen is loaded into the test frame, where an extensometer in the latest design measures the strain on the specimen as the load is increased.
