Any departure from this requirement may introducebending stresses that are not included in the usual stresscomputation (load divided by cross-se

17、ctional area).NOTE 3The effect of this eccentric loading may be illustrated bycalculating the bending moment and stress thus added. For a standard12.50-mm diameter specimen, the stress increase is 1.5 percentage pointsfor each 0.025 mm of eccentricity. This error increases to about 2.3percentage poi

18、nts/0.025 mm for a 9-mm diameter specimen and to 3.25percentage points /0.025-mm for a 6-mm diameter specimen.NOTE 4Alignment methods are given in Practice E1012.5.2.2 Wedge GripsTesting machines usually are equippedwith wedge grips. These wedge grips generally furnish asatisfactory means of grippin

19、g long bars of ductile metal. If,however, for any reason, one grip of a pair advances fartherthan the other as the grips tighten, an 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 be

20、st results, the wedges should besupported over their entire length by the heads of the testingmachine. This requires that liners of 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 b

Forshort specimens it is generally 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 uniform

22、ly distributed pure axial tension (see 5.2.3, 5.2.4, and5.2.5).5.2.3 Grips for Threaded and Shouldered SpecimensAschematic diagram 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

23、should be attached to the heads of the testingmachine through properly lubricated spherical-seated bearings.The distance between spherical bearings should be as large asfeasible.5.2.4 Grips for Sheet MaterialsThe self-adjusting gripsshown in Fig. 4 have proved satisfactory for testing sheetmaterials

24、 that cannot be tested satisfactorily in the usual type ofwedge grips.5.2.5 Grips for WireGrips of either the wedge or snubbingtypes 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

25、accurateand precise to at least one half the smallest unit to which theindividual dimension is required to be measured.5.4 ExtensometersExtensometers used in tensile testingshall conform to the requirements of Practice E83 for theclassifications specified by the procedure section of these testmethod

26、s. Extensometers shall be used and verified to includethe strains corresponding to the yield strength and elongation atfracture (if 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

27、 figures) maybe used to determine the yield behavior. For measuringelongation at fracture with an appropriate extensometer, thegage 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

28、the full section of thematerial whenever practical. Otherwise, machined specimensof rectangular or round cross section shall be used.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 pr

29、eparationof specimens, particularly in the machining, to ensure thedesired precision and bias in test results.6.1.3 The cross-sectional area of the specimen should besmallest at the center of the reduced section to ensure fractureFIG. 1 Wedge Grips with Liners for Flat SpecimensFIG. 2 Gripping Devic

For this reason, a small taper ispermitted in the reduced section of each of the specimensdescribed in the following sections.6.1.4 Rectangular specimens shall be 12.50 mm wide inaccordance with Fig. 6 or Fig. 7 (for tubular products), and

31、shall be of the full thickness of the material when practical.When necessary, 6.00-mm wide subsize specimens as shown inFig. 6 may 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 buck

32、ling in tests of thin and high-strength materials, itmay be necessary to use stiffening plates at the grip ends.6.1.5 Round specimens shall be the standard 12.50-mmdiameter specimen in Fig. 9, except when the dimensions of theproduct make this impossible. In such cases, small-size speci-mens proport

33、ional to the standard specimen shown in Fig. 9may be used. Unless otherwise specified in the productspecification, the selection of round tensile specimens shall beas specified in Table 1. Unless permitted by the productspecification, the diameter of the reduced section of thesmallest specimen used

34、shall not be less than 4 mm for wroughtproducts and 6 mm for cast products.6.1.5.1 The shape of the ends of the specimen outside of thegage length shall be suitable to the material and of a shape tofit the holders or grips of the testing machine so that the loadsare applied axially. Fig. 10 shows sp

35、ecimens with various typesof 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 the amount ofheat generated) and testing (for example, eccentricit

36、y 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 more variable dueto the increasing significance of variations in m

37、etallic structureor the character of the surfaces. Low values derived from smallspecimens should be carefully evaluated in accordance with8.1 to be certain that the results are valid.6.1.7 While tensile strengths and yield strengths can prop-erly be compared with results derived from test specimens

38、ofvarious dimensions, elongation values may vary with specimensize and type. Therefore, elongation values should be obtainedwith specimens of the type from which the published tensileproperties were established.FIG. 3 Gripping Device for Shouldered-End SpecimensFIG. 4 Gripping Devices for Sheet and

There may be a gradual taper in width from the ends of the reduced section to the center, but the width at each endshall not be more than 1 % greater than the width at the center.NOTE 2For each of the specimens, narrower widths (W and C

42、) may be used when necessary. In such cases the width of the reduced section shouldbe as large as the width of the material being tested permits: however, unless stated specifically, the requirements for elongation in a product specificationshall not apply when these narrower specimens are used. If

43、the width of the material is less than W, the sides may be parallel throughout the length ofthe specimen.NOTE 3The dimension T is the thickness of the test specimen as stated in the applicable material specifications. Maximum nominal thicknesses of12.5-mm and 6-mm wide specimens shall be 12.5 mm and

44、 6 mm, respectively.NOTE 4To aid in obtaining axial loading during testing of 6-mm wide specimens, the overall length should be as large as the material will permit,up to 200 mm.NOTE 5It is desirable, if possible, to make the length of the grip section large enough to allow the specimen to extend in

45、to the grips a distance equalto two thirds or more of the length of the grips. If the thickness of 12.5-mm wide specimens is over 9 mm, longer grips and correspondingly longer gripsections of the specimens may be necessary to prevent failure in the grip section.NOTE 6The grip-end centerline of the 1
