Abstract

A machine for testing the tensile properties of sections of pipe or tubing, incorporating a split post, with the post halves being displaceable relative to each other to apply a predetermined tensile stress to a ring segment cut from a length of pipe and placed over the split post. Pairs of removable, semicircular shoe discs sized to fit around the post and having different outside diameters may be selectively utilized on the post to test a wide range of sizes of pipe segments.
