I want to perform a tensile strength test of stainless steel wire which is around 1 mm in diameter. I need the gauge length and strain rate. please tell me which ASTM standard addresses the specific test.
IEC has standards that can be used but they are limited to Overhead powerline conductors. In terms of rope for tensile applications i have personally not used a standard in this regard.
Hi Shabir
you can refer to
- ASTM A679/A679M-06 Standard Specification for Steel Wire, High Tensile Strength, Cold Drawn
and to
- ASTM A370 Standard Test Methods and Definitions for Mechanical Testing of Steel Products
Dear Anas N S , according to the mentioned standards, the gauge length should be either 4D or 5D. the wire that I am using has a dia of 1.1 mm, so a gauge length of 5 mm is not practical. what should I do now?
BS EN ISO 6892-1:2016
ISO 6892-1:2016(E)
Annex C - Types of test pieces to be used for wire, bars, and sections with a diameter or thickness of less than 4 mm
