2.steps and Procedure of Tensile Test

Students conducted a tensile test experiment on specimens made of aluminum, steel, and brass. They measured the specimens, fitted them into a universal testing machine, and recorded the maximum load and extension as each specimen was tested until fracture. Students then calculated and recorded material properties like Young's modulus, yield strength, and elongation. After testing, students cleaned up the laboratory, turned off equipment, and exited safely.

Steps and Procedure of Tensile Test



Before carried out the experiment :
1. Student entering to the laboratory for preparing to the lab briefing by PLV before any
further step to carry on.
2. After briefing by PLV, students were ensuring with those PPE laws and regulations in the
progress of laboratory workplace.

During the experiment carried on :
3. The specimens provided are made of aluminium, steel and brass. Measure and record
specimen dimensions (diameter and gauge length). Marking the location of the gauge
length of each specimen for subsequent observation of necking and strain measurement.
4. Fit the specimen on to the universal Testing Machine (UTM). The specimen was loaded
into the jaws of the Instron load frame so that it was equally spaced between the two
clamps. The axial and transverse extensometers were attached to the reduced gage section
of the specimen, ensuring that the axial extensometer was set correctly when attaching it
to the gage and that the transverse extensometer was across the complete diameter of the
specimen. This precaution results in better data and prevents damage to the
extensometers. Carry on testing.
5. Record the maximum load and extension for the construction of stress-strain curve of
each tested specimen.
6. Conduct the experiment until fracture.
7. Calculate Young's modulus, yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, fracture strain, %
elongation and % area of reduction of each specimen and record on the provided table.
8. Analyse the fracture surfaces of broken specimens using stereoscope, sketch and describe
the results.

After the experiment carried out :

9. Collect all the apparatus used.
10. All established in the original condition before leaving the laboratory.
11. Ensure all electrical appliances established in an offing mood.
12. Exit of the laboratory and closing the doors before leaving.
