Overview - EN 2002-001:2005 (Tensile testing at ambient temperature)

EN 2002-001:2005 is a CEN/AECMA aerospace-series standard that specifies requirements for tensile testing of metallic materials at ambient temperature for aerospace applications. It applies when cited by an EN technical specification, material standard, drawing, order or inspection schedule. The standard defines the test principle (straining to fracture) and the mechanical properties that may be determined: Young’s modulus, proof stress, tensile strength, elongation and reduction of area.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Scope & principle: Uniaxial tensile testing at ambient temperature to obtain mechanical properties relevant to aerospace materials.
• Test pieces: Types and dimensions are defined in normative Annexes A–D according to product form:
  • Annex A: sheet and strip (t ≤ 8 mm)
  • Annex B: non‑machined bar, section and wire (d/t ≤ 8 mm)
  • Annex C: machined pieces and forgings/castings (d/t > 8 mm)
  • Annex D: tubes and longitudinal strips
• Equipment & verification:
  • Testing machine force-measuring system verification ≤ 12 months per EN ISO 7500-1 (class 1 or better).
  • Extensometer verification ≤ 12 months per EN ISO 9513 (class 0.5 for Young’s modulus; class 1 for proof stress).
  • Machine alignment checks (annual verification using a strain‑gauged specimen; allowable variation specified).
• Grips and fixturing: Screwed holders recommended and mandatory in disputes; grips must ensure axial load application. Special plug and grip guidance for tubes.
• Measurement accuracy:
  • Original cross‑sectional dimensions: accuracy of 0.2% or 0.005 mm (whichever greater).
  • Final fracture dimensions: accuracy to 0.01 mm.
  • Original gauge length (proportional pieces): rounded to nearest 1 mm and marked to ±1%.
• Preparation & surface finish: Machining procedures to minimize cold work/heat; parallel length surface finish Ra ≤ 0.8 µm; special preparation for low‑ductility materials.
• Health & safety: Tests must follow applicable local regulations and precautions for hazardous materials.
• Test reporting: Required data and format are specified (see Clauses on test report).

Applications and users

Who uses EN 2002-001:2005?

• Aerospace manufacturers and material suppliers for material qualification and batch acceptance.

6.2.3 Preparation of test pieces Machining, if required, shall be carried out at ambient temperature in accordance with a machining procedure. Precautions shall be taken to minimize superficial cold working, appreciable heating of the part or surface irregularities that could affect the results of the test. The surface finish of the parallel length shall have a Ra value not exceeding 0,8 µm. In the case of material with an elongation specified in the material standard to be less than 10 %, tensile test pieces of other than circular cross-section shall have the edges along the parallel length and the transition radii slightly rounded and lengthwise polished. The reduction of the cross-sectional area by this treatment shall be negligible. The test piece shall be protected from damage or contamination until the start of the test. 6.3 Testing procedure 6.3.1 Determination of the cross-sectional area (S0)
