Applied Technical Services’ engineers measure the tensile strength of steel products in compliance with ASTM A370 testing standards.
ASTM A370 Testing Explained
The ASTM A370 testing standard outlines the procedure needed to evaluate the ductility and strength of steel materials. To begin the process, technicians measure the sample’s dimensions and note the material’s smallest cross-sectional area before placing gage marks throughout the material at a predetermined gage length. This information will later provide information on the material’s percent elongation at the point of failure. ASTM A370 provides measurements for:
- Ductility
- Modulus of Elasticity
- Tensile Strength
- Total Elongation
- Yield Strength
The testing procedure also outlines test methods for the following:
- Brinell Hardness Testing
- Charpy Impact Testing
- Tension Testing
- Rockwell Hardness Testing
The ASTM A370 testing standard is helpful in several applications, including automotive manufacturing, construction, and other industries where a material’s tensile strength is paramount to its safety and success.
