How to compare percentage elongation of steel
(OP)
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 5.65√s0. What is the effect of the different gauge length? Can i directly compare the two?
Thanks

To compare values obtained on non-proportional to proportional gauge lengths the cross section of the test specimen has to be considered.
