The data sheets are giving actual (not typical) elongation values and the British Standard gauge length is defined as: Gauge length = 5.65 √So (i.e. 5.65 x square root of the original cross-sectional area).
Hi,
I'm trying to compare the mechanical properties of aisi 8620 steel against a British Standard. All of the data sheets list a percentage elongation using a gauge length of 2 inches (typically 16%). However the British Standard gives a minimum requirement of 19% with a gauge length of...
