ASTM A185 Test Fixtures & Test Systems Model: G-ASTM-A185
Yield Point Capture: Low-carbon steel exhibits distinct Lüders bands; use a low strain rate (0.005 in/in/min) to prevent overshooting the upper yield point.
Type: Standards

Expert Commentary
Extensometer Removal: While the yield point is critical, remove your clip-on extensometer immediately after reaching 1% strain. The whiplash or recoil of a low-carbon steel specimen at failure can damage the delicate internal springs of high-resolution strain sensors.
