If my math is correct, a 1/8" dia. rod of 60,000 psi tensile strength steel will support 736 pounds before it begins to undergo plastic failure (ie: permanent stretching). The bar will strech before this point (elastic, not plastic), but will return to the original length upon removal of the load.
Ultimate tensile strength is the load that results in the piece actually breaking.
