BS EN ISO 204:2018 - Metallic Materials: Tensile Testing at Ambient Temperature

Comprehensive Guidance for Accurate Tensile Testing

BS EN ISO 204:2018 is the definitive standard for conducting tensile testing on metallic materials at ambient temperature. This internationally recognised standard provides detailed specifications and procedures to ensure consistent, reliable, and reproducible tensile test results across a wide range of metal products.

Ensuring Quality and Compliance in Metalworking

Tensile testing is a critical quality control measure in the metalworking industry, used to evaluate the mechanical properties and performance characteristics of metal components, parts, and finished products. BS EN ISO 204:2018 outlines the necessary test methods, equipment, and reporting requirements to meet stringent quality standards and regulatory compliance.

Key Features and Benefits

• Provides standardised test methods for determining key tensile properties, including yield strength, tensile strength, elongation, and reduction of area
• Specifies the dimensions and tolerances of test pieces to ensure accurate and consistent results
• Details the required test equipment, calibration procedures, and environmental conditions for reliable testing
• Includes guidance on test piece preparation, mounting, and testing procedures to minimise variability
• Outlines comprehensive reporting requirements to document test results and support quality assurance

Trusted Guidance for Metal Producers and Fabricators

BS EN ISO 204:2018 is an essential reference for metal producers, fabricators, and testing laboratories. By adhering to the standard's rigorous requirements, organisations can demonstrate their commitment to quality, ensure product performance, and maintain compliance with industry regulations.
