General Force Measurement
Elongation Testing

The increase in a sample's gauge length measured after a rupture divided by the sample's original gauge length is referred to as elongation.  The greater the elongation the higher the ductility of the material.  Elongation cannot be used to predict the behavior of materials subjected to sudden or repeated loading.
