ISO 26203-2

Description / Abstract: This part of ISO 26203 gives requirements for the testing of metallic materials. Only examples for testing flat geometries are given; however, other geometries can be tested. The area of application spans a range of strain rates from 10⁻² s⁻¹ to 10³ s⁻¹. Tests are carried out between 10 °C and 35 °C and, unless otherwise specified, using a servo-hydraulic-type test system.

NOTE 1 Measurements at strain rates lower than 10⁻² s⁻¹ c an b e p erformed u sing m achines d esigned f or q uasistatic testing.

NOTE 2 For test piece geometries other than those shown in 7.1 and Annex B, see ESIS P7 (Reference [1]) and FAT Guideline (Reference [2]).
