Tension & Force Testing Solutions
Tension & Force Testing Overview

Measure Load Limit, Deformation Resistance & Breaking Point

Controlled pulling force converts structural performance into measurable data for hardware safety, durability and engineering decisions.

Tension and pull force testing is the essential laboratory method to evaluate the structural strength and load-bearing capacity of load-bearing bag and luggage hardware. By applying controlled, steadily increasing pulling force to hardware samples, we measure maximum load limit, deformation resistance and breaking point to ensure components meet functional safety and durability standards.

At Junhao Hardware, we operate in-house precision tension testing equipment with calibrated force sensors. We conduct regular batch sampling tests for all load-bearing hardware including hooks, D-rings, chains, buckles and strap connectors. All testing procedures follow international ISO and ASTM mechanical test standards, delivering objective, repeatable strength data.

We support standard force ranges and custom test specifications according to product application scenarios, from light fashion handbag fittings to heavy-duty outdoor luggage hardware. Test reports are available upon request for brand quality audits, product compliance and safety verification.

Core Purpose of Tension & Force Testing

Five Reasons Buyers Verify Strength Before Approving Load-Bearing Hardware

Tension data helps validate structural safety, compare material and forming options, confirm batch consistency and optimize product design.

01

Verify Structural Load Capacity

Measures the maximum pulling force hardware can withstand before deformation or breakage, confirming it meets design load requirements.

02

Ensure Usage Safety

Prevents hardware failure during real-world use such as strap tearing, hook breaking or ring deformation, reducing safety risks and after-sales complaints.

03

Compare Material & Process Strength

Allows objective comparison between die casting, forging, stamping and different base materials to select the optimal solution for load-bearing products.

04

Validate Batch Consistency

Regular batch testing confirms that mass production maintains the same structural strength as approved samples, preventing quality degradation across production runs.

05

Support Product Design Optimization

Test data helps engineering teams optimize structure, thickness and shape for the best balance of strength, weight and cost.

Standard Tension Test Procedure

Six Controlled Steps from Sample Preparation to Failure Analysis & Reporting

Standard Tension Test Procedure
First DeformationReal-Time Force Value
Permanent DeformationFunctional Limit Behavior
Complete FractureMaximum Failure Point
01

Sample Preparation

Select representative production samples, check for no pre-existing damage, measure actual dimensions and record initial state.

02

Equipment Calibration & Setup

Calibrate tension tester force sensor, install matching fixtures and clamp samples securely to avoid slippage.

03

Constant Speed Loading

Apply steadily increasing pulling force at standard uniform speed until target load or sample failure.

04

Real-Time Data Recording

Record force values at first deformation, permanent deformation and complete fracture point.

05

Failure Mode Analysis

Examine fracture position and failure type: base metal break, weld break, bending deformation or function loss.

06

Final Evaluation & Report Issuance

Evaluate results against agreed standards and issue formal test report with force data, deformation observations and pass/fail conclusion.

Strength Performance by Material & Process

Match Material & Forming Process to Required Load-Bearing Performance

Material & Process
Typical Load-Bearing Performance
Recommended Application
Cold Forged Steel / Stainless Steel
Excellent, highest tensile strength
Heavy-duty hooks, chains, load-bearing rings
Stamped Iron / Steel
Good, strong for flat structural parts
Standard buckles, reinforcing plates, flat rings
Die Cast Brass
Good, solid structural strength
Premium buckles, mid-range load-bearing parts
Die Cast Zinc Alloy
Moderate, best for decorative parts
Light fittings, small rings, decorative hardware
Our engineering team can recommend the optimal material and forming process based on your required load capacity and product design.
Test Evaluation Standards

Track Deformation Behavior from Working Load to Complete Failure

We evaluate test results based on clear, agreed performance criteria:

01

No deformation

No visible shape change under specified working load

02

Elastic deformation

Returns to original shape after load removal

03

Permanent deformation

Visible shape change but no breakage, exceeds functional limit

04

Partial fracture

Crack or partial damage but still holds partial load

05

Complete fracture

Full breakage, total load-bearing failure

Test reports clearly state maximum load value, deformation behavior and pass/fail status according to brand-specified standards.
Applicable Product Scenarios
