3 Definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
C-ring test piece
ring-shaped test piece in which a radial slot has been cut to convert it into an incomplete ring
3.2
C-ring compression test
test in which a C-ring test piece is compressed across a diameter away from the slot, and which imposes the
maximum tensile stress on the outside surface of the ring remote from the points of compression load
application
3.3
C-ring tension test
test in which a C-ring test piece is pulled across a diameter away from the slot, and which imposes the
maximum tensile stress on the inside surface of the ring remote from the point of tensile load application
4 Significance and use
This method of test permits the strength of circular symmetry test pieces such as thin-walled rings or tubes to
be determined. The diametral loading of a short length of slotted tube or a slotted ring produces a tensile
stress in the mid-section of the tube wall, either in the outside region of the wall thickness if the ring is
compressed, or in the inside region if the ring is pulled in tension. In both cases the maximum stresses are in

EN 843-7:2010 (E)
the tube surface, and are remote from the points of load application, and thus only weakly influenced by the
precise geometry of load application. In contrast, diametral compression of a ring without a slot leads to high
tensile stresses immediately opposite the points of load application, with much poorer calibration and greater
sensitivity to the precise geometry of loading.
The result of a C-ring test is sensitive to the surface finish applied to the cylindrical surfaces of the ring, for
example by the method of shaping the article, and additionally to the planar ring faces. Thus if a ring is cut
from a tube, the cutting shall be done in such a manner as not to influence the result of the test if the purpose
of the test is to determine the as manufactured tube strength.
The results obtained from this test are representative of the strength of pressurized tubes and other cylindrical
shapes.
5 Principle
5.1 Method A: C-ring compression
A slotted ring test-piece is placed on its cylindrical surface on a flat anvil of a mechanical testing machine with
the slot remote from anvil (Figure 1a)). The second anvil of the test machine is brought into contact with the
top surface of the ring, and the load is increased until failure occurs by closing the C-ring. The strength is
computed from the ring geometry and the maximum force applied.
5.2 Method B: C-ring tension
Two opposed horizontal pull bars connected to a mechanical testing machine are used to contact the slotted
ring at diametrally opposed positions remote from the slot (Figure 1b)). The force is increased until failure by
opening the ring. The strength is computed from the ring geometry and the maximum force applied.
