    This document provides standards for testing metallic materials and determining percentage elongation after fracture. It specifies that test pieces should be held securely and axially to apply force. It describes measuring the final gauge length after fracture by fitting the broken pieces together. Percentage elongation is calculated to the nearest 0.5% and must be above the specified minimum value to be valid. For machines with extensometers, total extension is measured and elastic extension deducted to determine percentage elongation.

    ISO 6892: 1998

    The test pieces shall be held by suitable means such as wedges, screwed grips, shouldered holders,
    etc.

    Every endeavour shall be made to ensure that test pieces are held in such a way that the force is
    applied as axially as possible. This is of particular importance when testing brittle materials or when
    determining proof stress (non-proportional elongation) or proof stress (total elongation) or yield stress.

    11 Determination of percentage elongation after fracture (A)

    11.1 Percentage elongation after fracture shall be determined in accordance with the definition given
    in 4.4.2.

    For this purpose, the two broken pieces of the test piece are carefully fitted back together so that their
    axes lie in a straight line.

    Special precautions shall be taken to ensure proper contact between the broken parts of the test piece
    when measuring the final gauge length. This is particularly important in the case of test pieces of small
    cross-section and test pieces having low elongation values.

    Elongation after fracture (L u - L o> shall be determined to the nearest 0,25 mm with a measuring device
    with 0,1 mm resolution and the value of percentage elongation after fracture shall be rounded to the
    nearest 0,5 % . If the specified minimum percentage elongation is less than 5 % , it is recommended that
    special precautions be taken when determining elongation (see annex E).

    This measurement is, in principle, valid only if the distance between the fracture and the nearest gauge
    mark is no less than one third of the original gauge length (/Jo). However, the measurement is valid,
    irrespective of the position of the fracture, if the percentage elongation after fracture is equal to or
    greater than the specified value.

    11.2 For machines capable of measuring extension at fracture using an extensometer, it is not
    necessary to mark the gauge lengths. The elongation is measured as the total extension at fracture, and
    it is therefore necessary to deduct the elastic extension in order to obtain percentage elopgation after
    fracture.

    In principle, this measurement is only valid if fracture occurs within the extensometer gauge length (L e ).
    The measurement is valid regardless of the position of the fracture cross-section if the percentage
    elongation after fracture is equal to or greater than the specified value.

    NOTE - If the product standard specifies the determination of percentage elongation after rupture for a given
    gauge length, the extensometer gauge length shall be equal to this length.

    11.3 If elongation is measured over a given fixed length, it can be converted to proportional gauge
    length, using conversion formulae or tables as agreed before the commencement of testing (for example
    as in ISO 2566-1 and ISO 2566-2).

    NOTE - Comparisons of percentage elongation are possible only when the gauge length or extensometer gauge
    length, the shape and area of the cross-section are the same or when the coefficient of proportionality (k) is the
    same.
