GB/T 228 — Metallic Materials Tensile Testing at Ambient Temperature

← Back to all standards

GB/T 228 (the 2002 edition) is the Chinese national method for determining tensile properties of metallic materials at ambient temperature. It has been replaced by GB/T 228.1, which is the current Chinese room-temperature tensile method. To align a GB/T 228 requirement with the current edition, talk with our team.

What GB/T 228 Covers

The method defines room-temperature tensile testing of metals and the properties determined from the test, forming the basis of the current GB/T 228.1 revision.

Current Replacement

Use GB/T 228.1 for new work; it aligns with the international room-temperature method. Legacy references to GB/T 228 map directly onto GB/T 228.1.

Properties Reported

Yield or proof strength, tensile strength, elongation, and reduction of area.

Reading the Designation

Cited as GB/T 228-2002. Confirm whether the controlling document expects the current GB/T 228.1.

Related Standards

GB/T 228.1 is the current Chinese standard, and ISO 6892-1 is the international equivalent.
