ASTM A 370 REV A Document Information:
Title
Standard Test Methods and Definitions for Mechanical Testing of Steel Products
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Apr 15, 2008
Scope:
These test methods2 cover procedures and definitions
for the mechanical testing of wrought and cast steels, stainless
steels, and related alloys. The various mechanical tests herein
described are used to determine properties required in the product
specifications. Variations in testing methods are to be avoided,
and standard methods of testing are to be followed to obtain
reproducible and comparable results. In those cases in which the
testing requirements for certain products are unique or at variance
with these general procedures, the product specification testing
requirements shall control.
The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the
standard.
When this document is referenced in a metric product
specification, the yield and tensile values may be determined in
inch-pound (ksi) units then converted into SI (MPa) units. The
elongation determined in inch-pound gauge lengths of 2 or 8 in. may
be reported in SI unit gauge lengths of 50 or 200 mm, respectively,
as applicable. Conversely, when this document is referenced in an
inch-pound product specification, the yield and tensile values may
be determined in SI units then converted into inch-pound units. The
elongation determined in SI unit gauge lengths of 50 or 200 mm may
be reported in inch-pound gauge lengths of 2 or 8 in.,
respectively, as applicable.
Attention is directed to ISO/IEC 17025 and E 1595 when there may
be a need for information on criteria for evaluation of testing
laboratories.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety
concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility
of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and
health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations prior to use.
*A Summary of Changes section appears at the end of this
standard.

Code.
