Description / Abstract:
This part of ISO 6892 s pecifies t he m ethod o f t ensile t
esting o f m etallic m aterials i n l iquid h elium (the boiling
point is –269 °C or 4,2 K, designated as 4 K) and defines the
mechanical properties that can be determined.
This part of ISO 6892 may apply also to tensile testing at
cryogenic temperatures (less than –196 °C or 77 K), which requires
special apparatus, smaller test pieces, and concern for serrated
yielding, adiabatic heating, and strain-rate effects.
To conduct a tensile test according to this part of ISO 6892 at
4 K, the test piece installed in a cryostat is fully submerged in
liquid helium (He) and tested using displacement control at a
nominal strain rate of 10−3 s−1 or less.
NOTE The boiling point of the rare 3He isotope is 3,2 K.
Usually, the tests are performed in 4He or a mixture of 3He and
4He with a high concentration of 4He. Therefore, the
temperature is, as designated before, 4 K.
