1.1 This standard ( Part 2 ) prescribes method for the determination of the time required for rupturing of metal test sample subjected throughout their duration to nominally constant tensile load and constant temperature conditions, in single and multi-test sample rupture testing machines, for time up to 100 000 h. It defines the properties to be determined and the terms used in describing tests and test samples.
1.2 This standard is applicable to un-interrupted and interrupted tests on test samples of circular and rectangular cross-section and on test samples of circular cross-section having a notch and also on test samples from tubes.
1.3 The standard is applicable to the conditions of heating the test sample in an electric resistance or radiation furnace in air or atmosphere pressure, unless other media are specifically agreed upon in advance.
1.4 This standard is not applicable for conditions of rapid heating, rapid strain rates or too short times.
