Strain rate control is one of the most misunderstood parts of common metals testing standards such as ISO 6892-1 and ASTM E8. This video breaks down what strain rate control is, why it is important, how can you implement it, and some challenges that may occur.

ASTM E8/E8M and ASTM A370 are the most common test methods for determining the tensile properties of metallic materials.

Les dispositifs de mesure automatique d'éprouvettes (ASMD) rationalisent la préparation des éprouvettes en éliminant la saisie manuelle des données et les erreurs de calcul, fournissant des mesures de largeur et d'épaisseur rapides et précises directement dans votre flux de travail d'essai.

Vipul In this video, we offer quick tips on how to safely use an Instron® universal testing system. For additional safety information, visit our manuals section to read your Instron system manual, or contact your local service representative.

The Instron® TestMaster AT3 Automated Testing System uses an innovative three-axis design for automatic tensile testing of thin films. Normal tensile testing of thin films can prove challenging, but the versatile AT3 makes it easy, improving repeatability, safety, and efficiency by automating everything from measurement to specimen handling and removal.
