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.

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.


How do you convert steal yield and tensile strength to pounds?

If you load a beam in tension or compression only ( pull or push) then you multiply the tensile yield or ultimate strength by the area of the beam cross section. Thus applies to a simple beam (bar) only. If you load the beam any other way, such as bending or twisting, or perpendicular to its axis you need to use formulas from an engineering strength of materials course or handbook.


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 is 33 MSI Tensile Modulus Strength means?

A tensile modulus strength of 33 MSI (million pounds per square inch) indicates the stiffness of a material under tensile stress. Specifically, it represents the ratio of stress (force per unit area) to strain (deformation) within the elastic limit of the material. A higher tensile modulus means the material is stiffer and less prone to deformation when subjected to tensile loads. In practical terms, materials with a tensile modulus strength of 33 MSI are suitable for applications requiring significant rigidity and resistance to stretching.

What does rm stand for yield strength?

The term "Rm" in yield strength refers to the "tensile strength" or "maximum tensile strength" of a material, which is the maximum stress that a material can withstand while being stretched or pulled before failing or breaking. It is typically measured in units such as megapascals (MPa) or pounds per square inch (psi). In some contexts, "Rm" can also denote the ultimate tensile strength, which is the peak stress a material can endure prior to fracture.
