10.1.1.2 Lower yield strength (ReL)

If only the lower yield strength is being determined, the rate of straining during yield of the parallel length
of the test piece shall be between 0,000 25/5 and 0,002 5/s. The straining rate within the parallel length
shall be kept as constant as possible. If this rate cannot be regulated directly. it shalt be fixed by
regulating the rate of stressing just before yield begins, the controls of the machine not being further
adjusted until completion of yield.

In no case shall the rate of stressing in the elastic range exceed the maximum rates given in table 3.

10.1.1.3 Upper and lower yield strengths (ReH and ReL )

If the two yield strengths are determined during the same test, the conditions for determining the lower
yield strength shall be complied with (see 10.1.1.2).

10.1.1.4 Proof strength (non-proportional extension) and proof strength (total extension)
(Rp and Rt )

The rate of stressing shall be within the limits given in table 3.

Within the plastic range and up to the proof strength (non-proportional extension or total extension) the
straining rate shall not exceed 0,002 5/s.

10.1.1.5 Rate of separation

If the testing machine is not capable of measuring or controlling the strain rate, a cross head separation
speed equivalent to the rate of stressing given in table 3 shall be used until completion of yield.

10.1.2 Tensile strength (Rm)

10.1.2.1 In the plastic range

The straining rate of the parallel length shall not exceed 0,008/5.

10.1.2.2 In the elastic range

If the test does not include the determination of a yield stress (or proof stress), the rate of the machine
may reach the maximum permitted in the plastic range.
