100KN ~ 600KN, tension test
The tensile test of steel tubes is a test method for determining the characteristics of steel tubes under axial tensile load. The elastic limit, elongation, modulus of elasticity, proportional limit, area reduction, tensile strength, yield point, yield strength and other tensile properties of steel tube can be determined by the data obtained from tensile test.
General introduction
The tensile test of steel tubes is a test method for determining the characteristics of steel tubes under axial tensile load. The elastic limit, elongation, modulus of elasticity, proportional limit, area reduction, tensile strength, yield point, yield strength and other tensile properties of steel tube can be determined by the data obtained from tensile test.
Standards: ASTM A53 & ASTM A500 (Grade A / B)
Maximum wall thickness: up to 10 ~16 mm
Two kinds of fixtures:
1, for small diameter pipe less 30mm:
Snug‑fitting internal metal plug sets for full‑section tensile testing
2, for 30 to 300 pipes (longitudinal strip testing):
Curved‑face jaw inserts matching pipe curvature for uniform load distribution.
Standard
ASTM A53 specifies seven mandatory/optional tests to verify chemical, mechanical (tension test, bending test, flattening test, hydrostatic test), structural, tightness, and coating quality. It is a fundamental standard for carbon steel pipes, and its testing regimen is designed to verify the pipe's integrity, ductility, and pressure-handling capabilities.
ASTM A370 Standard Test Methods and Definitions for Mechanical Testing of Steel Products
ASTM A370 test methods cover procedures and definitions for the mechanical testing of steels, stainless steels, and related alloys. The various mechanical tests herein described are used to determine properties required in the product specifications. Variations in testing methods are to be avoided, and standard methods of testing are to be followed to obtain reproducible and comparable results. In those cases in which the testing requirements for certain products are unique or at variance with these general procedures, the product specification testing requirements shall control.
Covering tests like Tension, Bend, Hardness, Brinell, Rockwell, Portable, and Impact, each catering to distinct aspects of mechanical property assessment. Moreover, it accommodates annexes for specific product types, including Bar Products, Tubular Products, Fasteners, Round Wire Products, and more, ensuring a holistic approach to testing.
ISO

defines the mechanical properties which can be determined at room
temperature. Related standard ASTM E8 , JIS Z2241 Method of tensile
