Any departure from this requirement may introducebending stresses that are not included in the usual stresscomputation (load divided by cross-sectional area).NOTE 3The effect of this eccentric loading may be illustrated bycalculating the bending moment and stress thus added. For a standa

17、rd0.500-in. diameter specimen, the stress increase is 1.5 percentage pointsfor each 0.001 in. of eccentricity. This error increases to 2.24 percentagepoints/0.001 in. for a 0.350-in. diameter specimen and to 3.17 percentagepoints/0.001 in. for a 0.250-in. diameter specimen.NOTE 4Alignment methods ar

18、e given in Practice E1012.5.2.2 Wedge GripsTesting machines usually are equippedwith wedge grips. These wedge grips generally furnish asatisfactory means of gripping long specimens of ductile metal.If, however, for any reason, one grip of a pair advances fartherthan the other as the grips tighten, a

19、n undesirable bendingstress may be introduced. When liners are used behind thewedges, they must be of the same thickness and their facesmust be flat and parallel. For best results, the wedges should besupported over their entire length by the heads of the testingmachine. This requires that liners of

20、 several thicknesses beavailable to cover the range of specimen thickness. For propergripping, it is desirable that the entire length of the serratedface of each wedge be in contact with the specimen. Properalignment of wedge grips and liners is illustrated in Fig. 1. Forshort specimens it is genera

21、lly necessary to use machined testspecimens and to use a special means of gripping to ensure thatthe specimens, when under load, shall be as nearly as possiblein uniformly distributed pure axial tension (see 5.2.3, 5.2.4, and5.2.5).5.2.3 Grips for Threaded and Shouldered SpecimensAschematic diagram

22、of a gripping device for threaded-endspecimens is shown in Fig. 2, while Fig. 3 shows a device forgripping specimens with shouldered ends. Both of thesegripping devices should be attached to the heads of the testingmachine through properly lubricated spherical-seated bearings.The distance between sp

23、herical bearings should be as great asfeasible.5.2.4 Grips for Sheet MaterialsThe self-adjusting gripsshown in Fig. 4 have proved satisfactory for testing sheetmaterials that cannot be tested satisfactorily in the usual type ofwedge grips.5.2.5 Grips for WireGrips of either the wedge or snubbingtype

24、s as shown in Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 or flat wedge grips may beused.5.3 Dimension-Measuring DevicesMicrometers and otherdevices used for measuring linear dimensions shall be accurateand precise to at least one half the smallest unit to which theindividual dimension is required to be measured.5.4 Extensom

25、etersExtensometers used in tensile testingshall conform to the requirements of Practice E83 for theclassifications specified by the procedure section of these testmethods. Extensometers shall be used and verified to includethe strains corresponding to the yield strength and elongation atfracture (if

26、 determined).5.4.1 Extensometers with gage lengths equal to or shorterthan the nominal gage length of the specimen (dimensionshown as “G-Gage Length” in the accompanying figures) maybe used to determine the yield behavior. For measuringelongation at fracture with an appropriate extensometer, thegage

27、 length of the extensometer shall be equal to the nominalgage length required for the specimen being tested.6. Test Specimen6.1 General:6.1.1 Test specimens shall be of the full section of thematerial whenever practical. Otherwise, machined specimensof rectangular or round cross section shall be use

28、d.6.1.2 Improperly prepared test specimens often are thereason for unsatisfactory and incorrect test results. It isimportant, therefore, that care be exercised in the preparationof specimens, particularly in the machining, to ensure thedesired precision and bias in test results.FIG. 1 Wedge Grips wi

29、th Liners for Flat SpecimensFIG. 2 Gripping Device for Threaded-End SpecimensB557 1026.1.3 The cross-sectional area of the specimen should besmallest at the center of the reduced section to ensure fracturewithin the gage length. For this reason, a small taper ispermitted in the reduced section of ea

30、ch of the specimensdescribed in the following sections.6.1.4 Rectangular specimens shall be 0.500 in. wide inaccordance with Fig. 6 or Fig. 7 (for tubular products), andshall be of the full thickness of the material when practical.When necessary, 0.250-in. wide subsize specimens as shown inFig. 6 ma

31、y be used, but elongation values from such specimensare not applicable to specification requirements.6.1.4.1 Pin ends as shown in Fig. 8 may be used. In order toavoid buckling in tests of thin and high-strength materials, itmay be necessary to use stiffening plates at the grip ends.6.1.5 Round speci

32、mens shall be the standard 0.500-in.diameter specimen in Fig. 9, except when the dimensions of theproduct make this impossible. In such cases, small-size speci-mens proportional to the standard specimen shown in Fig. 9may be used. Unless otherwise specified in the productspecification, the selection

33、 of round tension specimens shall beas specified in Table 1. Unless permitted by the productspecification, the dimensions of the smallest specimen usedshall not be less than the following:Wrought CastDiameter of reduced section, in. 0.160 0.250Length of reduced section, in.34 114Radius of fillet, in

Fig. 10 shows specimens with varioustypes of ends that have given satisfactory results.6.1.6 Special care is required in the manufacture and testingof smaller specimens because the effects of machining (forexample, the amount of end load applied and

36、the amount ofheat generated) and testing (for example, eccentricity and gagemarking) variables are greater upon them than upon largerspecimens. Therefore, the largest practical specimen shallalways be used. With some types of materials, notably castings,the result of tests of small specimens may be

37、more variable dueto the increasing significance of variations in metallic structureFIG. 3 Gripping Device for Shouldered-End SpecimensFIG. 4 Gripping Devices for Sheet and Wire SpecimensFIG. 5 Snubbing Device for Testing WireB557 103Dimensions, in.Standard Specimen Sheet-Type,12-in.
