- Scope
- This European Standard specifies the drop weight tear test for metallic materials and includes a method for assessing the fracture appearance of ferritic steels. Assessment can also be based on the energy absorbed in fracturing the test piece, particularly for materials other than ferritic steels. NOTE 1 This test method is based on the use of a falling weight or pendulum, however other types of machine, e.g. with hydraulic actuators, may be used provided that the requirements of this European Standard are satisfied. NOTE 2 The test is most commonly applied to ferritic steel tubes and to ferritic steel plate for the manufacture of tubes.
