Tensile Modulus:

When a bar is pulled in tension, it has to get longer. The tensile modulus is used to calculate how much longer it will
get when a certain load is applied to it. Units are normally millions of pounds per square inch. (10 6 psi) - Giga
Pascals (gPa). Higher numbers indicate materials which will not elongate as much as others when they are being
compared under equal tensile loading conditions.
