European Standard

StandardTitleNote
EN ISO 6892-1European adoption of ISO 6892-1Mandatory in EU for certified material testing

American Standards (ASTM)

StandardTitleNotes
ASTM E8 / E8MStandard Test Methods for Tension Testing of Metallic MaterialsThe most widely used tensile test standard in the USA
ASTM A370Standard Test Methods and Definitions for Mechanical Testing of Steel ProductsIncludes tensile testing procedures, widely used for steel products

Test Parameters Defined in the Standards

  • Specimen types: Flat or round (machined) specimens
  • Test speed: Controlled via Method A (strain rate) or Method B (stress rate), depending on standard
  • Measured values:
    • Yield strength (Re)
    • Ultimate tensile strength (Rm)
    • Elongation after fracture (A%)
    • Reduction of area (Z%)
