No. The tensile strength comes from the grain inside the metal and the ingredients used to make a certain metal. Lengths are determined by tensile strength and material advised to be used for that specific use.

What is the tensile strength of .375 bolt?

Tensile strength is a material propery, it does not depend on size. Look at a material chart to find its yield and tensile strenghts. Then use the stress equation, Stress = Force / Area to determine if your .375 bolt can handle the force on it. If your bolt is in shear, you need to find Shear strenghts.


Give you a example of tensile strength?

Take a piece of any material, say a steel rod, or a piece of timber dowel and you grip it at both ends and try to pull it until it breaks. When you do this, you are putting a tensile load on the material. It is said to be 'in tension'. If the material had a cross sectional AREA of say, 1 Square Inch, and the Tensile Load on it was say, 50,000 Pound,then the Tensile load would be 50,000 PSI (pound per square inch). If the material broke apart under that exact load, then we say it has a TENSILE STRENGTH of 50,000 lb/ square inch. Engineers measure tensile strength in either Pound/Squ.inch. OR Pascal. A Pascal (metric system) is Newton per Square Metre. Steel cables used on bridges have a Tensile Load on them at all times. Engineers calculate the cross sectional area of steel cable needed to be safe , and never break apart. Engineers need to know the Tensile Strength of Steel to be able to choose what size cable to use,so that it is quite SAFE and will not break when in Tension. They use safety factors such as 5 (typical) This means they calculate the cross sectional area of a cable which is going to be 5 times as strong as the Tensile Strength of the steel they are using. They then know that it will never break. The Tesile strength at which a material breaks is called its Ultimate Tensile Strength. Engineers never allow the tension in steel to exceed about 1/5th ofthe Ultimate tensile strength of the steel. Modern Steel bars used in steel structures, has an ultimate tensile strength of approx. 80,000 lb/Squ.inch


What does chain din 766 means?

It is a specific type, size and tensile strength of chain.


What is the tensile strength of a can?

conductor that can withstand tension force before failing i.e., zebra conductor can withstand 13290 kg. You can quote tensile strength only as [force / unit of cross-sectional area]. The above example is useful only if it a specific material (it looks like a trade-name for something) made in only one size.


Matter being drawn out into wire?

Copper can be drawn into wire because its elastic strength is lower than its tensile strength. If it were the other way around the copper would be brittle and break from being drawn. To draw wire from copper it is usually annealed first (heated to reduce its elasticity) then drawn into rods through a thimble, then progressively drawn though smaller and smaller dies to reduce its diameter to the preferred gauge or size. As the copper is drawn through the dies it heats up from friction and actually needs to be cooled to prevent it from breaking, as this annealing actually reduces the tensile strength of the copper as well. *elastic strength is the strength of material that resists permanent deformation of the material. Tensile strength is the resistance to the material being pulled apart.


Is concentration size dependent?

For a homogeneous material the concentration is independent from the size.


How Do you calculate the Ultimate Tensile Strength of a Material?

You take coupon sample, usually and approved shape and size, and pull it to failure with a tensile test machine such as those made by Instron. It has a load cell that measures the load it takes to break the sample. Then you simply divide by the sample cross section area to get the tensile strength


Why hardness is a intensive?

Because the hardness is not dependent to the size of a material sample.


Is a magnets strength dependent on size or shape?

Magnetism is a size independent propert. If an object is magnetic or not does not depend on the size of the object.


What besides size and position determines clastic sedimentary rock texture?

The composition and strength of the cementation material.


What is the difference between Breaking Strength and Modulus of Rupture (ceramic tile)?

The modulus of rupture is the same as the breaking strength. It is a term used for ceramics where strength is dependent upon statistical distribution of flaw size, flaw shape, and moisture.


Is hardness a extensive physical or intensive physical?

Hardness, as far as being the hardness of a material, is a physical property of a system that does not depend on the system size or the amount of material in the system: it is scale invariant.Added:Hardness is dependent on ductility, elasticity, plasticity, strain, strength, toughness, viscoelasticity, and viscosity.There are three main types of hardness measurements: scratch, indentation, and rebound.
