If fiberglass is layed up in one direction only (unidirectional) its strength is greater than 100,000 psi for E glass and 250,000 psi for S glass.
If layed up in cross plies like fiberglass cloth (G10) strength in tension is about 40,000 psi

What is tensile strength mean?
It is the strength in pounds per square inch of a material at which it will be pulled apart.
What is the tensile strength of 304 stainless steel vs 316 stainless steel?
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.
Are all grade 8.8 high tensile?
Yes. Grade 8.8 refers to a standard (ISO 898-1) which defines the tensile strength (around 55 tons/square inch).
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
Is bolt tensile strength in foot pounds or inch pounds?
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
What does PSI Tensile mean?
The number of Pounds per Square Inch (PSI) for the Tensile strength.
What is tensile strength mean?
It is the strength in pounds per square inch of a material at which it will be pulled apart.
Is there a general rule for yield vs tensile strength in steel?
yield is the breaking point and tensile strength is what it is rated at per square inch

What unit is tensile strength measured in?
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)

What is the yield strength of B7 threaded rod?
The yield strength of B7 threaded rod is typically around 105,000 psi (pounds per square inch).
What is the ultimate strength of kraft paper?
I have measure the tensile strength of 132 lb Kraft paper to be about 30-40 pounds per square inch. That is the force required to pull the paper apart when holders are fixed to the surface of the paper on opposite sides.
What type of grass can support more weight per square inch than concrete?
I can only venture a guess here without any scientific data to back it up. Bamboo. Tensile strength may exceed that of steel.
What is the tensile strenght of iron?
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
