For elevated or high-temperature tests, refer to ISO 6892-2. For low temperatures, refer to ISO 6892-3. For low temperatures, refer to ISO 6892-3
is the current international standard for the tensile testing of metallic materials at room temperature . It defines the procedures for applying a controlled tensile load to a specimen until it fractures to measure essential mechanical properties. Key Mechanical Properties Determined The standard provides formulas and methods to calculate: Yield Strength ( ReHcap R sub e cap H end-sub ReLcap R sub e cap L end-sub Rp0.2cap R sub p 0.2 end-sub
