EN 10237 is a test method for performing a ring tensile test on metallic tubes, opening and straining a ring-shaped specimen to evaluate transverse properties. To match a setup to this test, talk with our team.
What EN 10237 Covers
The method loads a ring cut from a tube in tension around its circumference to assess transverse ductility and reveal defects in the tube wall. It complements axial tensile testing of tube material.
How the Test Is Run
The ring specimen is stretched over mandrels or pins until fracture, and the load-deformation behaviour indicates transverse strength and defect sensitivity.
Preparing Specimens
Accurate ring width and clean, defect-free edges keep the result valid. To configure ring tensile testing, request a quote.
Reading the Designation
Cited as EN 10237 with its year. Confirm the ring dimensions and acceptance criteria.
Related Standards
