	Use the ultimate tensile stress [UTS] for the material in question. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultimate_tensile_stress The maximum breaking load is the product of the UTS and the cross-sectional area of the material. __________________ "Did you get my e-mail?" - "The biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place" - George Bernard Shaw, 1856
