Tensile strength is the maximum amount of stress that a material can withstand before it breaks or permanently deforms. It is a measure of a material's ability to resist pulling forces.
Tensile strength is typically measured in units of force per unit area, such as pounds per square inch (psi) or newtons per square meter (N/m^2). It is determined through standardized tests, such as a tensile test, where a material is pulled until it breaks.
The tensile strength of a bolt can be affected by several factors, including the type and quality of the material, the diameter and length of the bolt, the manufacturing process, and the environmental conditions in which it is used.
Pull out force, also known as withdrawal force, is the force required to pull a bolt out of its designated hole or anchor point. It is a measure of the bolt's resistance to being pulled out under a load.
Pull out force can be calculated by multiplying the area of the bolt's cross-section by its tensile strength. It can also be determined experimentally by applying a load to the bolt and measuring the force required to pull it out.
