Mechanical Testing of Metals Sectional Committee, MTD 3

NATIONAL FOREWORD
This Indian Standard ( Third Revision) which is identical with ISO 6892 : 1998 -Metallic materials -
Tensile testing at ambient temperature' issued by the International Organization for Standardization
( ISO ) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendations of the Mechanical
Testing of Metals Sectional Committee and approval of the Metallurgical Engineering Division Council.

This Indian Standard was originally published in 1960 and subsequently revised in 1972 and 1995. This
revision of the standard has been taken up to align it with ISO 6892 : 1998 by adoption under dual
numbering system.
The text of the ISO Standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard
without deviations. Certain terminclogy and conventions are, however, not identical to those used in
Indian Standard. Attention is particularly drawn to the following:
a) Wherever the words 'International Standard' appear, referring to this standard, they should be
as read as 'Indian Standard'.
b) Comma ( , ) has been used as a decimal marker while in Indian Standards, the current practice
is to use a point ( . ) as the decimal marker.
In this adopted standard, reference appears to certain International Standards for which Indian Standards
also exist. The corresponding Indian Standards which are to be substituted in their places are listed
below along with their degree of equivalence for the editions indicated:
