Tensile strength is determined from testing a large number of samples. Some will fail higher or lower than others, and an average strength is determined. Minimum tensile strength is usually calculated from statistics using a Weibull probability analysis. In this case the minimum tensile strength usually is reported as the Weibull A value, which is the value at which 99% will survive with 95% confidence. Weibull B, usually based on fewer samples, is the minimum value determined to survive with 90% reliability and 95 % confidence.

Tensile strength vs breaking strength?

Tensile strength is the minimum force that the specimen withstands without suffering a failure. Breaking strength is that force which is required to break the specimen.


Difference between 10.9 and 12.9 tensile bolts?

Grade 10.9 bolts or capscrews have a minimum tensile strength of 1040N/mm2 and a hardness of 320 - 380Hv10. Grade 12.9 bolts or capscrews have a minimum tensile strength of 1220N/mm2 and a hardness of 385 - 435Hv10. The 12.9 fastener is therefore a higher grade (hardness and tensile strength) fastener compared with 10.9 grade


What is the strength of the steel?

You mean tensile strength. Different steels have different tensile strengths. The way they are made (drawn, cast, forged, etc.) is critically important to the tensile strength. By the way--steel is more important for its stiffness than its tensile strength.

What is the equation for breaking strength conversion to tensile strength they aren't the same are they?

well refering to breaking strength and tensile strength, there are alot of similarities but this doesnt mean thet are the same for tensile strength the easier of the two equations its T.S= force/ area.

What is the SI unit for strength?

If you mean force, the SI unit is the newton. If you mean the strength of a material - its ability to withstand force - there are different types of strength: look up Compressive strength, Tensile strength, Shear strength. For example, the units for tensile strength are newtons / square meter.
