It is the strength in pounds per square inch of a material at which it will be pulled apart.
Tensile strength is given in ksi. To get pounds you need to know the area. Pounds = strength x area. For example if the specimen is 100 ksi strength and area 1 sq inch, pounds = 100 x 1 = 100 kilopounds = 100000 pounds. f the specimen is 100 ksi strength and area 2 sq inch, pounds = 100 x 2 = 200 kilopounds = 200000 pounds. In any case strength in ksi is the same for a given material and that is why ksi is used.
According to the Metals Handbook of the American Society of Testing and Materials, 316 Stainless has a tensile strength of 85,000 pounds per square inch.
Neither. Bolt tensile strength is in pounds per square inch. You are confusing torque with bolt strength. Typically a bolt will be torqued to stretch the bolt and preload it to about 50% of its strength. The relation between torque T and preload P is T = 0.15DP where D is bolt diameter(inch), T is inch pounds and P is pounds. Then stress is P/A where A is bolt area and this stress is 1/2 of strength. Note that torque in foot pounds is simply in lb/12, or 12 inch pounds = 1 ft lb
The yield strength of B7 threaded rod is typically around 105,000 psi (pounds per square inch).
The number of Pounds per Square Inch (PSI) for the Tensile strength.
How do I convert foot pounds of torque to a tensile strength
It is the strength in pounds per square inch of a material at which it will be pulled apart.
8000-9000 pounds
its bout 15 pounds i guess, not sure though

tensile strength is usually given as a stress term - force per unit area. In the English system this is pounds per square inch (psi). In metric SI system,it is given in Meganewtons per meter squared (megapascals, MPa)
The yield strength of B7 threaded rod is typically around 105,000 psi (pounds per square inch).
High tensile steel may have ten times the tensile strength of wood, and more than twice that of mild steel, but it would be a mistake to overestimate the importance of this single quantity, as Fuller seems to do
The same way that you test the tensile strength of anything - break it in a universal testing machine! You have to be careful how you hold the rope though - you obviously cannot grip it the way you would grip a metal specimen (since the grips will cut the rope). Therefore the rope may be locked into special rope-testing grips or tied around a T-bar or pin in a particuar way. As long as the rope breaks n the central "guage length", you have a good result. If it breaks in the region where it is gripped or tied, the result is probably not correct.
