SuperPave Direct Tension Tester evaluates the low temperature thermal properties of asphalt binder and provides data to predict the temperature at which thermal cracking would occur in the roadway.

Over-tensioning shortens not only the life of V-belts but also that of the sheaves, electric motor, and driven equipment bearings. In extreme cases, it can even bend or break a motor shaft.

This video illustrates a tensile test performed on an automobile’s seatbelt using a tension tester from Instron. Instron tension testers, or pull testers, are used to determine the tensile strength of ...

ASTM D1414 (D 1414) covers multiple properties of O-Rings. Part of the specification includes tension testing for determining the breaking force, tensile strength, and ultimate elongation of an o-ring ...
