Metals testing according to ISO 6892-1 and ASTM E8/E8M: Confidently managing differences and leveraging the benefits

In this webinar, you will learn

  • What the similarities and differences are between ISO 6892-1 and ASTM E8/E8M.
  • What influence specimen geometry and cross-sectional measurement have on the comparability of the results.
  • What requirements the two standards place on the testing system, force measurement, and strain measurement.
  • How to correctly interpret differences in characteristic values and how they are determined.
  • How test speed and control method impact results.
  • How to leverage commonalities between both standards to create efficient and reliable testing workflows.

Benefits

  • Understand differences:Correctly interpret differing requirements in ISO 6892-1 and ASTM E8/E8M.
  • Compare results:Identify influencing factors and avoid misinterpretations.
  • Test more efficiently:Leverage the commonalities between the two standards in your testing workflows.

Target group

  • Test engineers
  • Test technicians
  • Laboratory, quality assurance, and materials engineering personnel

Dr. Harald Schmid

Global Industry Manager for Metals – ZwickRoell GmbH & Co. KG

As Global Industry Manager, he is responsible for the industry strategy in the metals sector with a focus on market observation, further development of testing solutions and sales support in the international environment.

He has extensive experience in standardization work and is actively involved in various committees, including the international ISO committee “ISO/TC 164 Mechanical Testing of Metals” and national DIN working groups such as NA 062-01-42 AA Tensile and ductility testing for metals and NA 062-01-47 AA Impact test for metals and mechanical-technological testing of metallic pipes.

His academic career began with a degree in mechanical engineering (B.Sc. & M.Sc.) at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). After holding international positions in mechanical engineering, he worked as a research assistant at the Friedrich-Alexander-University Erlangen-Nuremberg with a focus on material characterization and sheet metal forming. He dedicated his doctorate to the topic of deep drawing processes with drawing beads.
