Terminology 3.1 Definitions The definitions of terms relating to tension testing appearing in Terminology F 6 shall be considered as applying to the terms used in these test methods of tension testing, Additional terms being defined are as follows: 3.1.1 discontinuous yielding —in a uniaxial test, a hesitation or fluctuation of force observed at the onset of plastic defor ‘mation, due localized yielding. (The stress-strain curve need ot appear to be discontinuous.) 3.1.2 lower yield strength, LYS {FL *|—in a uniaxial test, the minimum stress recorded during discontinuous yielding, ignoring transient effets. 3.1.3. upper yield srength, UYS (FL *) — ina uniaxial west, the first stress maximum (stress a frst zero slope) associated. ‘with discontinuous yielding at or near the onset of plastic eformation. 3.1.4 yield point elongation, YPE— in a uniaxial test, the strain (expressed in percent) separating the stress-strain eurve’s “Annual Book of ASTM Standards No 02.02 inmual Book of ASTM Standards, Nt 001 "Amman!

This information may be useful in comparisons of materials, alloy evelopment, quality control, and design under certain cireum- stances. 4.2 The results of tension tests of specimens machined 10 standardized dimensions from selected portions of a part or ‘material may not totally represent the strength and ductility ‘properties ofthe entire end product or its in-service behavior in different environments, 4.3: These test methods are considered satisfactory for ac- ceptance testing of commercial shipments. The test methods have been used extensively in the trade for this purpose. 'S. Apparatus 5.1 Testing Machines Machines used for tension testing shall conform to the requirements of Practices E 4, Te forces used in determining tensile strength and yield strength shall be within the verified foree application range of the testing ‘machine as defined in Practices F 4. 5.2 Gripping Devices: 5.2.1 General Various types of gripping devices may be used 10 transmit the measured force applied by the testing ‘machine to the test specimens, To ensure axial tensile stress ‘within the gage length, the axis of the test specimen should coincide with the center line of the heads of the testing machine. Any departure from this requirement may introduce bending stresses that are not included in the usual stress computation (force divided by cross-sectional area) [Noms $-The elect of this coventie force applisation may be illu tmted by calculating the bending moment and stess thus added.

These wedge grips generally furnish a satisfactory means of gripping long specimens of ductile metal and flat plate test specimens such as those shown in Fig. 1. 1, however, for any reason, one grip of a pair advances farther than the other as the grips tighten, an undesirable bending siress may be introduced, When liners are used behind the wedges, they must be of the same thickness and their faces ‘must be Mat and parallel. For best results, the wedges should be supported over their enire lengths by the heads of the esting machine. This requires that liners of several thicknesses be available 1 cover the range of specimen thickness, For proper ripping, it is desirable thatthe entire length of the serrated face of each wedge be in contact with the specimen. Proper alignment of wedge grips and liners is illustrated in Fig. 2. For short specimens and for specimens of many materials itis generally necessary to use machined test specimens and 10 use a special means of gripping to ensure that the specimens, when under load, shall be as nearly as possible in uniformly distributed pure axial tension (soe 5.2.3, 5.24, and 5.2.5) 5.23 Grips for Threaded and Shouldered Specimens and Brittle Materials—A schematic diagram of a gripping device for threaded-end specimens is shown in Fig. 3, while Fig. 4 shows a device for gripping specimens with shouldered en Both of these gripping devices should be attached tothe heads ofthe testing machine through properly lubricated spherical- seated bearings. The distance between spherical bearings should be as great a feasible. 5.24 Grips for Sheet Materials The selé-adjusting grips shown in Fig. $ have proven satisfactory for testing sheet ‘materials that eannot be tested satisfactorily in the usual ype of wedge gris. 5.2.5. Grips for Wire Grips of ether the wedge or snubbing types as shown in Fig. 5 and Fig. 6 or fat wedge grips may be used 533 Dimension-Measuring Devices—Micrometers and other
