Description

Tensile test for metallic materials Part 1

Test method at room temperature

Determination of offset yield stresses, apparent yielding points, tensile strength, breaking force including the pertinent extensions and the E module as well as reduction in area when breaking in the tensile test to DIN ENISO 6892-1.

Test control is possible with 2 different methods.

• Method A - Elongation controlled, controlled via signal of extensometer
• Method B - Load controlled (stress controlled)
  

Basic Results

• FM: Maximum test load
