The Divergence in Force Measurement of Strain Versus Stress
Interface details stress testing versus strain testing using force measurement sensors to quantify material deformation and internal resistive forces. Distinguishing between stress and strain is critical for defining test parameters, selecting sensor capacities, and interpreting data from a material’s elastic and plastic regions.

Unidirectional Advantage of Compression-Only Load Cells
Interface compression-only load cells are utilized in test and measurement applications for enhanced performance, quality, and reliability in single-axis compression scenarios. The deformation of the strain gage provides measurement data. The design offers a more stable output and a higher resistance to off-axis loading, which can significantly reduce measurement uncertainty. Interface Tech Talk answers the unidirectional advantages of using compression-only load cells.

Core Measurement Fundamentals of Force, Stress, and Strain
Understanding differences in measuring force, stress, and strain, and how Interface's load cells accurately measure changes in objects, will help you better prepare to maximize the potential of your force measurement solutions for critical applications.

Precision Under Pressure in Tensile Testing Applications
Interface load cells enable accurate tensile testing for material characterization, quality control, and R&D. Tensile testing applications using Interface force measurement devices include medical devices, 3D printing, aircraft, aerospace, automotive components, consumer products, fabrics, and more. Accurate measurement ensures product safety and performance.

How Does Tensile Testing Work?
Interface supplies load cells for tensile testing. Tensile testing is fundamental in test and measurement. Load cells are commonly used in tension testing to measure and record the force or load applied to a specimen during the test. Tensile testing is used by researchers, testing labs, and engineers across industries including infrastructure, medical, manufacturing, aerospace, consumer goods, automotive, energy, and construction to measure stress, strain, elacity, fatigue and failure.

Tension Load Cells 101
Interface tension load cell are a type of force sensor used to measure tensile forces in materials, structures, or machines. They are used to measure the maximum load that a material can support without fracture when being pulled or stretched under the applied load. With our proprietary strain gages manufactured inside the load cell sensor, it measures the deformation and converts it into an electrical signal.
