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 is the tensile strength in psi of the material being tested?
The tensile strength of the material being tested is measured in pounds per square inch (psi).
What is the tensile strength of steel cable?
The tensile strength of steel cable is typically around 250,000 to 300,000 pounds per square inch (psi).
What is the psi tensile strength of the material being tested?
The psi tensile strength of the material being tested is the maximum amount of force per square inch that the material can withstand before breaking.

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.

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 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.
