Quick Reference
Specimen Preparation
Follow ISO guidelines for dimensions, machining, edge finish, and environmental conditioning. Label specimens and record batch data.
Fixture Selection
Choose grips and fixtures that apply load uniformly without inducing damage. Verify parallelism and alignment each shift.
Data & Reporting
Report specimen dimensions, conditioning, test speed, and extensometer type. Include stress-strain curves and statistics.
