A tensile strength testing machine comprises a frame assembly that defines a test zone. The frame assembly includes a frame member that has first and second opposed ends. The ends have inner sides that generally face one another across the test zone, and outer sides that are generally opposed to one another and the test zone. An arbor element is mounted for generally axial movement relative to the first end. The arbor element is slidably mounted in the first end. The arbor element projects inwardly into the test zone and outwardly from the outer side of the first end. The arbor element is adapted to being attached to a test specimen, which mounted in the test zone. A portion of the arbor element that projects outwardly from the outer side of the first end is generally surrounded by an array of jack bolts. The jack bolts are threadably mounted in a collar member that is substantially axially fixed relative to the arbor element. The jack bolts are positioned to bear generally against the outer side of the first end. Typically, at least a thrust collar, and, preferably, a load determining assembly are interposed between this outer side and the bearing ends of the jack bolts. Torquing down the jack bolts against the outer side of the first end places the arbor element in tension. This tensile load is applied to a test specimen mounted in the test zone, and the magnitude of the load is determined.
