# Young’s Modulus measurement in laboratory

## As a manufacturer, you want to measure the Young's modulus of your materials.

### What is Young's Modulus ?

Young’s modulus, also known as modulus of elasticity, is a method of measuring the stiffness of a material. It measures a material’s ability to resist deformation when subjected to stress.

This measurement is often used in [materials laboratory](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-analysis-services/polymer-materials-analysis-laboratory/laboratory-material-testing/) to characterize the mechanical properties of materials.

### How to interpret the results ?

A low Young’s Modulus indicates that a material is very flexible, while a high Young’s Modulus indicates that a material is rigid.

## The FILAB laboratory can help you measure Young's modulus
