scope:

This European standard specifies the method for tensile testing of metallic materials and defines the mechanical properties which can be determined thereby at elevated temperature. For certain particular metallic materials and applications, the tensile test may be the subject of specific standards or particular requirements. It should be noted that test carried out at the same temperature in accordance with the tensile testing method at ambient temperature (EN 10002-1) and this standard should give different results by reason of different testing conditions, for example the loading rate.
