TENSILE TESTING

Techniques

Tensile tests on metals and non-metallic materials are available to determine the following parameters:

  • Ultimate tensile strength
  • Yield stress
  • Proof stress
  • Elongation at failure
  • Reduction in area

Standards

ASTM A370-02e1 Standard Test Methods and Definitions for Mechanical Testing of Steel Products
ASTM E8-01e1 Standard Test Methods for Tension Testing of Metallic Materials
BS EN 10002-1:2001 Tensile testing of metallic materials. Method of test at ambient temperature
BS EN 10002-5:1992 Tensile testing of metallic materials. Method of test at elevated temperatures
