Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 6892-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 164, Mechanical testing of metals, Subcommittee
SC 1, Uniaxial testing.
This first edition of ISO 6892-1 cancels and replaces ISO 6892:1998.
ISO 6892 consists of the following parts, under the general title Metallic materials — Tensile testing:
⎯ Part 1: Method of test at room temperature
The following parts are under preparation:
⎯ Part 2: Method of test at elevated temperature
⎯ Part 3: Method of test at low temperature

Introduction
During discussions concerning the speed of testing in the preparation of ISO 6892:1998, it was decided to
recommend the use of strain rate control in future revisions.
In this part of ISO 6892, there are two methods of testing speeds available. The first, method A, is based on
strain rates (including crosshead separation rate) and the second, method B, is based on stress rates. Method
A is intended to minimize the variation of the test rates during the moment when strain rate sensitive
parameters are determined and to minimize the measurement uncertainty of the test results.

1 MPa = 1 N mm .
c
In the elastic part of the stress-percentage extension curve, the value of the slope may not necessarily represent the modulus of
elasticity. This value can closely agree with the value of the modulus of elasticity if optimal conditions (high resolution, double sided,
averaging extensometers, perfect alignment of the test piece, etc.) are used.

CAUTION — The factor 100 is necessary if percentage values are used.
5 Principle
The test involves straining a test piece by tensile force, generally to fracture, for the determination of one or
more of the mechanical properties defined in Clause 3.
The test is carried out at room temperature between 10 °C and 35 °C, unless otherwise specified. Tests
carried out under controlled conditions shall be made at a temperature of 23 °C ± 5 °C.
