ISO 10606:1995 — Total elongation at maximum force (reinforcing steel tensile test)

← Back to all standards

ISO 10606 is a tensile-testing standard for reinforcing steel used in concrete, focused on determining the percentage total elongation at maximum force and related tensile properties. To match a setup to this test, talk with our team.

What ISO 10606 Covers

The method applies to reinforcing steel bar and wire, where ductility indicators such as total elongation at maximum force (Agt) matter for seismic and structural performance, alongside yield and tensile strength.

Properties Reported

Yield strength, tensile strength, the tensile-to-yield ratio, and total elongation at maximum force, which together characterize the ductility of the reinforcement.

Preparing Specimens

Ribbed bar is usually tested full-section with grips that hold the deformed surface without slipping. To configure a system for reinforcing steel, request a quote.

Reading the Designation

Cited as ISO 10606 with its year. Confirm the edition and the required ductility parameters.

Related Standards

ISO 6892-1 is the general room-temperature metal tensile method that underpins this test.
