Tension Testing of Metallic Materials
Tension tests provide information on the strength and ductility of materials under uniaxial tensile stresses. This information may be useful in comparisons of materials, alloy development, quality control, and design under certain circumstances. The results of tension tests of specimens machined to standardized dimensions from selected portions of a part or material may not totally represent the strength and ductility properties of the entire end product or its in-service behavior in different environments. These test methods cover the tension testing of metallic materials in any form at room temperature, specifically, the methods of determination of yield strength, yield point elongation, tensile strength, elongation, and reduction of area.
WJE laboratories are accredited by ANAB (ISO/IEC 17025) and Miami-Dade County (TAS301-94) to perform testing standard ASTM E8 for Tension Testing of Metallic Materials.
