Information on the most widely used ASTM standards within the materials testing industry
Tensile
The tensile test, also known as tension test, is the most fundamental and widely used mechanical property test in the field of material science and engineering. It evaluates a material’s behavior under axial tensile loads, measuring core performance indicators such as tensile strength, yield strength, elongation at break, and elastic modulus. These parameters directly determine a material’s ability to withstand stretching forces in practical applications, serving as the cornerstone for material selection, product design, quality control, and R&D innovation across industries.

ASTM D638: For plastics and polymer materials, covering tensile properties of rigid and semi-rigid plastics, including dog-bone shaped specimen requirements.
ASTM D412: For rubber and elastomers, specifying tensile testing procedures for vulcanized rubber and thermoplastic elastomers.
ASTM D3039: For fiber-reinforced polymer matrix composites, detailing tensile test methods for composite laminates.
ISO Standards (International Organization for Standardization):
ISO 6892-1: Tensile testing of metallic materials at room temperature, the global benchmark for metal tensile tests.
ISO 527: Plastics—Determination of tensile properties, applicable to all types of plastics and plastic products.
ISO 37: Rubber, vulcanized or thermoplastic—Determination of tensile stress-strain properties, harmonized with industry requirements for rubber materials.
