| Name | Tensile Strength |
| Definition | Also known as Ultimate Tensile Strength (UTS), Breaking Load, or Breaking Stress, it is the amount of maximum stress used to rate a material’s capacity to withstand tensile stress, measured as the force per unit area—usually in pounds per square inch (psi)—that a material can endure while being stretched at a constant rate before tearing. In rubber testing, it is the maximum psi of the original cross-sectional area. |
