Tensile testing, also known as tension testing, is a method of mechanical testing used to determine the strength and ductility of materials and their ability to withstand an applied load without breaking. Ductility measures a material's ability to deform plastically without breaking under tension.

Force capacity in tensile testing refers to the maximum load a test machine can apply to a material sample. The force capacity of a machine depends on its design and construction and can vary widely between different models and manufacturers.

The force capacity of a tensile testing machine is specified in units of force, such as newtons (N) or kilo-newtons (kN). When selecting a tensile testing machine, do not forget to consider the force capacity required for the intended applications and ensure that the machine has sufficient capacity to handle the loads that will be applied.

For most materials, the tensile strength is proportional to the cross-sectional area of the sample. Therefore, larger samples typically require higher force capacities. In addition, some materials, such as metals and composites, may require higher force capacities due to their high strength and stiffness.

In general, choosing a tensile testing machine with a force capacity that is at least 50% greater than the maximum load that will be applied to the sample is recommended. This ensures that the machine has a sufficient margin for error and can handle unexpected loads or sample variations.
