ASTM E8
Full Name
ASTM E8 – Standard Test Methods for Tension Testing of Metallic Materials
Scope
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.
