NF EN ISO 2566-1

This document specifies a method of converting room temperature percentage elongations after fracture obtained on various proportional and non-proportional gauge lengths to other gauge lengths.

Formula (1), on which conversions are based, is considered to be reliable when applied to carbon, carbon manganese, molybdenum and chromium molybdenum steels within the tensile strength range 300 N/mm² to 700 N/mm² and in the hot-rolled, hot-rolled and normalized or annealed conditions, with or without tempering.

These conversions are not applicable to:

a) cold reduced steels;

b) quenched and tempered steels;

c) austenitic steels.

These conversions are not applicable when the gauge length exceeds  or where the width to thickness ratio of the test piece exceeds 20.

To comply with a standard, you need to quickly understand its issues in order to determine its impact on your activity.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:

• mandatory clauses to satisfy,
• non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.

The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document "ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents" as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
