1 Scope
This standard specifies the principle, definitions, symbols and descriptions, test piece and dimension measurement, test equipment, test requirement, performance determination, rounding-off of the test result data and test report of tensile testing method of metallic materials.
This standard is applicable to determine the tensile performance of metallic materials at ambient temperature. But an agreement must be made for the tensile test of little-cross-section metal products such as metal foil, super-fine wire and capillary.

3 Principle
The test involves straining a test piece by tensile force, generally to fracture, for the purpose of determining one or more of the mechanical properties defined in Chapter 4.
Unless otherwise specified, the test is normally carried out at ambient temperature between 10℃ and 35℃. The tests carried out under controlled conditions shall be made at a temperature of 23℃±5℃.
