ASTM E8 / E8M tensile testing

ASTM E8/E8M tensile testing with calibrated extensometers and stress–strain data supplied with every report; the same samples can be taken through hardness, impact and bend tests in the same lab.

What it covers

ASTM E8

The ASTM standard test methods for tension testing of metallic materials — the reference for aerospace, oil and gas and export material certification.

Typical products. Aerospace alloys, pressure-vessel steels, pipe and plate, fasteners, additive-manufactured coupons.

NABL accredited testing laboratory vide certificate no. TC-12060 (ISO/IEC 17025:2017). Lines below are in the scope of accreditation and are reported under the NABL symbol; tailored profiles and methods outside the scope can usually still be run and are reported as non-accredited.
