ASTM E83
Full Name
ASTM E83 – Standard Practice for Verification and Classification of Extensometer Systems
Scope
ASTM E83 provides standardized procedures for verifying the accuracy and classifying the performance of extensometer systems used in tensile and compressive testing. This standard is crucial for ensuring reliable strain measurement and data integrity in materials testing.
Key aspects of ASTM E83 include:
- Extensometer types: covers various extensometer designs and principles of operation.
- Verification procedures: outlines methods for calibrating and checking extensometer accuracy.
- Classification criteria: defines performance classes based on measurement error.
- Data analysis: specifies requirements for recording and reporting verification results.
Adherence to ASTM E83 is essential for maintaining the credibility and precision of materials testing data.
