How do you convert a hardness number into tensile strength?

Tensile strength calculation for Finger cots and Condom:-(RING TYPE)Tensile strength Formula : F/A (N/mm2)Where :-

F - Force (N)

A- cross sectional area (mm2)

A- cross sectional area - Width *thickness (single wall)

So F/2(width * thickness) (N/mm2)

For Example :-

F= 35.963 N

width = 6.35 mm (specimen width standard in finger cots)

Thickness = 0.12 mm

Calculation:-

= F/ 2(Width *Thickness) (N/mm2)

Where 2 is common factor for ring samples .

= 37.963 / 2(6.35*0.12) (N/mm2)

= 37.963 /1.524 (N/mm2)

= 24.91 (N/mm2) this is good answer for finger cots and condom Tensile strength calculation.

You stretch test specimens in a prescribed manner (ASTM) and make note of what force failure occurs. The tensile strength is that force divided by the cross-sectional area.
