ASTM E8-E8M Standard Test Methods for Tension Testing of Metallic Materials

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ASTM E8-E8M testing. These test methods cover any form of tensile testing of metallic materials at room temperature, especially yield strength and yield determination methods.

ASTM E8-E8M Standard Test Methods for Tension Testing of Metallic Materials

For most round specimens, gauge lengths should be 8D for E4 and 8D for E5M. The gauge length is the most important difference between the E8 and E8M test specimens. Test specimens made from powder metallurgy (P/M) materials are exempt from this requirement by industry-wide agreement to keep the pressing of the material at a specified prescribed area and density.

Exceptions to the provisions of these test methods may need to be made in individual specifications or test methods for a particular material.

ASTM E8/E8M stress tests are performed on metal materials at room temperature. It is one of the most common testing processes performed on metal samples.

This standard refers to a wide variety of sample types, such as plate type, sheet type, round, sheet, strip, wire, flat wire, plate, bar, rectangular, pipe, forging, casting, malleable iron, and powder metallurgy samples. In general, if businesses have determined which type of sample to test and the dimensions of the sample as specified in the ASTM E8/E8M standard, determining the appropriate testing framework is a relatively simple process.

Sample preparation is a critical step in properly performing the ASTM E8 / E8M test procedure and is often the most overlooked method. Improper or inattentive test preparation results in inconsistent test results. Given the tolerances specified in this standard, it is often necessary to use precision machining or cutting devices to ensure proper sample preparation.

Values ​​stated in SI units should be considered separately from inch/pound units. The values ​​specified in each system are not exactly equivalent; therefore each system should be used independently of the other. Combining values ​​from the two systems may result in non-compliance with the standard.

This standard does not purport to address all, if any, safety concerns associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health and environmental practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory restrictions prior to use.
