Yield Strength:The maximum load at which a material exhibits a specific permanent deformation
Tensile Strength:The maximum load in tension (pulling apart) which a material can withstand before breaking or fracturing.
Proof Load:An axial tensile load which the product must withstand without evidence of any permanent set.
