ASTM E8 Standard Test Method for Tension Testing of Metallic Materials

EUROLAB, together with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ASTM E8 testing. This test method covers the tensile testing of metallic materials in any form at room temperature, especially methods for determining yield strength, yield point elongation, tensile strength, elongation and area reduction.

ASTM E8 Standard Test Method for Tension Testing of Metallic Materials

ASTM E8 describes the tensile testing of metals such as steel or metal alloys. This test determines important mechanical properties such as yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, elongation and area reduction.

E8 tensile tests determine the ductility and strength of various metals when the materials are subjected to uniaxial tensile stresses. Such information is important for alloy development, design, quality control and comparison of different sets of metals.

An electro-mechanical or hydraulic universal testing machine equipped with appropriate specimen grips, extensometer and software capable of strain rate control and recording stress-strain data is required to perform this test.

Tensile tests determine the strength and ductility of materials under uniaxial tensile stresses. This information can be helpful in comparing materials, developing new alloys, for quality control, supporting structural design, and acceptance testing for commercial shipments.

Values ​​stated in SI units should be considered separately from inch/pound units.

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.
