1. Scope

1.1 These test methods cover procedures and definitions for the mechanical testing of steels, stainless steels, and related alloys. The various mechanical tests herein described are used to determine properties required in the product specifications. Variations in testing methods are to be avoided, and standard methods of testing are to be followed to obtain reproducible and comparable results. In those cases in which the testing requirements for certain products are unique or at variance with these general procedures, the product specification testing requirements shall control.

1.2 The following mechanical tests are described:

Tension                 6 to 14

Bend                     15

Hardness              16

Brinell                   17

Rockwell               18

Portable               19

Impact                  20 to 29

Keywords             30

1.3 Annexes covering details peculiar to certain products are appended to these test methods as follows:

                                                                                                          Annex

Bar Products                                                                                      A1.1

Tubular Products                                                                              Annex A2

Fasteners                                                                                          Annex A3

Round Wire Products                                                                      Annex A4

Significance of Notched-Bar Impact Testing                                  Annex A5

Converting Percentage Elongation of Round Specimens to          Annex A6

Equivalents for Flat Specimens

Testing Multi-Wire Strand                                                             Annex A7

Rounding of Test Data                                                                  Annex A8

Methods for Testing Steel Reinforcing Bars                                  Annex A9

Procedure for Use and Control of Heat-Cycle Simulation            Annex A10

1.4 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard.

1.5 When this document is referenced in a metric product specification, the yield and tensile values may be determined in inch-pound (ksi) units then converted into SI (MPa) units. The elongation determined in inch-pound gauge lengths of 2 or 8 in. may be reported in SI unit gauge lengths of 50 or 200 mm, respectively, as applicable. Conversely, when this document is referenced in an inch-pound product specification, the yield

and tensile values may be determined in SI units then converted into inch-pound units. The elongation determined in SI unit gauge lengths of 50 or 200 mm may be reported in inch-pound gauge lengths of 2 or 8 in., respectively, as applicable.

1.6 Attention is directed to ISO/IEC 17025 when there may be a need for information on criteria for evaluation of testing laboratories.

1.7 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the

responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
