The indicated temperatures, 6, are the temperatures which are measured at the surface of the parallel length of the test piece. The permitted deviations in temperatures shall be complied with on the original gauge length, Lo, at least until the point corresponding to the ploof stress for non-proportional extension is reached. 6.3.2
Measurement
of Temperature
The temperature measuring equipment shall have a resolution of at least 1°C and an accuracy of &2”C.
The shape and dimensions of the test pieces depend on the shape and dimensions of the metallic products, the mechanical properties of which are to be determined. The test piece is usually obtained by machining a sample from the product or a pressed blank or casting. However, products of constant cross-section ( sections, bars, wires, etc ) and also cast test bars ( that’is malleable cast iron, white cast iron, non ferrous alloys ) may be subjected to test without being machined. The cross-section of the test pieces may be circular, square, rectangular, annular or, in special cases, of some other shape. Test pieces, the original gauge length of which is related to the original cross-sectional area by the equation L, = k.dS!? are called proportional test pieces. The internationally adopted value for k is 5.65. The original gauge length shall not be less than 25 mm. When the cross-sectional area of the test piece is too small for this requirement to be met with the coefficient k value of 5.65, a higher value ( for example 1 I.3 ), for coefficient k or a non-proportional test piece may be used. In the case of non-proportional test pieces, the original gauge length (L,) is taken independently of the original cross-sectional area (S,).
Three thermocouples which are arranged at identical intervals along the parallel length of are generally sufficient to test piece, the guarantee uniformity of the temperature of the test piece. This number may be reduced if the general arrangement of the furnace and the test piece is such that, from experience, it is known that the variation in temperature of the test piece does not exceed the permitted deviations specified in 6.3.1.
The extensometer gauge length shall not be less than 10 mm and shall be centrally located in the mid-region of the parallel gauge length. 7.1.2
Machined Test Pieces
Thermocouple junctions shall make good thermal with the surface.of the test piece and be suitably screened from direct radiation from the furnace well.
Machined test pieces shall incorporate a transition curve between the gripped ends and the parallel length if these have different dimensions. The dimensions of this transition radius may be important and it is recommended that they be defined in the material specification if they are not given in the appropriate Annex ( see 7.2 ).

If the parallel length (L,) is much in excess of the original gauge length, as, for instance, with unmachined test pieces, a series of overlapping gauge lengths shall be drawn, some of these ltngths may extend up to the grips., In some cases, it may be helpful to draw, on the surface of the test piece, a line parallel to the longitudinal axis, along which the marks are drawn. 8.3 Gripping of Test Pieces The test pieces shall be held by suitable means such as wedges, screwed holders, shouldered holders and pin holders, etc. Every endeavour shall be made to ensure that test pieces arc held in such a way that the force is applied as axially as possible. This is of particular importance when testing brittle materials or when determining proof stress ( non-proportional elongation ) or proof stress ( total elongation ) or yield stress. 8.4 Heating

Each end of the original gauge length shall be matked by means of fine marks or scribed lines, but not by notches which could result in premature fracture. For proportional test pieces, the calculated value of the original gauge length may be rounded off to the nearest multiple of 5 mm, provided that the difference between the calculated and marked gauge length is less than 10 percent of Lo. Annex E gives a scale for determination of the original gauge length corresponding to the dimensions of test pieces
The test piece shall be heated to the specified temperature, 19,and shall be maintained at that temperature for at least 10 min before loading. The loading shall only be started after the indications of elongation measuring the apparatus have been stabilized. During the heating, the temperature of the test piece shall not, at any moment, exceed the specified temperature with its tolerances, except by special agreement between the parties concerned. When the test piece has reached the specified temperature, the extensometer shall be reset to zero. 8.5 Loading of the Test Piece Force shall be applied so as to strain the test piece in a non-decreasing manner, without shock or sudden vibration.

This measurement is, in principle, valid only if the distance between the fracture and the nearest gauge mark is not less than one-third of the original gauge length (L,,). However, the is valid, irrespective of the measurement position of the fracture, if the percentage elongatton after fracture reaches at least the specified value and this shall be stated in the test report ( see Annex F ). 8.10.2 For machine capable of measuring extension at fracture using an extensometer, it is not necessary to mark the gauge lengths. The elongation is measured as the total extension at fracture, and it is therefore necessary to deduct the eiastic extension in order to obtain percentage elongation after fracture. In principle, this measurement is only valid if fracture occurs within the extensometer gauge length (~5~). The measurement is valid regardless of the position of the fracture cross section if the percentage elongation after fracture at least reaches the specified value and this shall be stated in the test report.
Set
Unless otherwise specified, the test piece is subjected for IO to 12 seconds to a force corresponding to the specified stress at the rate not exceeding that given in Table 3. After removing the force, that the permanent set elongation is not more than the percentage specified. 8.10 Determination
Elongation after fracture ( L, - L, ) shall be determined to the nearest 0.25 mm with a measuring device with 0, I mm resolution and the value of percentage elongation after fracture shall be rounded to the nearest 0.5 percent. If the specified minimum percentage elongation is less than 5 percent, it is recommended that special precautions be taken when determining elongation.

NOTE - If the product standard specifies the determination of percentage elongation after rupture for a given length, the extensometer gauge length shall be taken as equal to this length.

ANNEX F ( Clause 8.10.1 ) PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN WKEN MEASURING THE PERCENTAGE ELONGATION AFTER FRACTURE IF THE SPECIFIED VALUE IS LESS THAN 5 PERCENT
Prior to the test a very small mark shall be made near one of the ends of the parallel length. Using a pair of needle-pointed dividers set at the gauge length, an arc is described with the mark as the centre. After fracture. the broken test piece shall be placed in a fix&e and axial compressive force applied, preferably by means of a screw, just sufficient to hold the pieces
together firmly during measurement. A second arc of the same radius shall then be described from the original centre, and the distance between the two scratches measured by means of or other suitable a measur.ing microscoDe instrument. ‘in order to iender the fine scratches more easily visible, a suitable dye film may be applied to the test piece before testing.
MEASUREMENT OF PERCENTAGE ELONGATION AFTER FRACTURE SUB-DIVISION OF THE ORIGINAL GAUGE LENGTH
To avoid having to reject test pieces when the position of the fracture does not comply with the conditions of 8.10.1 the following method may be used, by agreement:
intervals beyond Y; calculate the percentage elongation fracture using the equation
a) Before the test: sub-divide the original gauge length, LO, into N equal parts:
A
b) After rhe rest: use the symbol X to denote the gauge mark on the shorter piece and the symbol Y to denote the division mark on the longer piece which is nearest to being the same distance from the fracture point as the gauge mark X (see Fig. 15 ). If n is the number of intervals between Xand Y, the elongation after fracture is determined as follows: 1) if N -n is an even number [ see Fig. 15 ( a ) 1, measure the distance between X and Y and the distance from Y to the graduation mark 2 located N-n 2
