Standard Test Method for Tension Testing of Metallic Materials
Scope:
This method covers the tensile testing of metallic materials in any form at room temperature.
Procedure:
Machine the specimen to the appropriate geometry and apply strain gauges if desired. Use constant extension universal testing machine and apply load until material failure.
Data:
Modulus of elasticity, percent elongation, yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, breaking stress.
Equipment Used:
Test frame, strain gauge, wedge grips.
