In September, several Instron employees participated in the annual ISO standards meetings on the mechanical testing of metals in Paris, France. The technical committee ISO/TC164 oversees several key areas in metals testing – uniaxial testing (e.g. tensile testing to ISO 6892-1/2 and the soon-to-be-released ISO 6892-3/4), as well as ductility testing on sheet metals (e.g. plastic strain ratio & strain hardening exponent), hardness testing, toughness testing (fracture, Charpy pendulum and tear testing), and fatigue testing.
The development of ISO standards covering all of these areas was discussed at length and the voice of all participating countries was heard and considered. Our very own Jean-Pierre Gale, Dan Raynor, and John Cookson participated in discussions covering all areas of mechanical testing, particularly in the progression of the static tensile test standards ISO 6892-1/3/4 and fatigue test standards (e.g. ISO 12108 – Crack Growth, ISO 4965 – Dynamic calibration and a draft of ISO 23788 - Machine Alignment).
There was a strong sense of learning from each other at the meetings and Instron’s involvement reinforces our commitment to maintain our leadership in materials testing technology and our strong relationships within Industrial and Research & Development organizations. We are actively working to drive the standards forward for the benefit of the materials testing community.
Do you have any questions for our Jean-Pierre, Dan, or John? What about comments to share about working to drive the standards forward?
