ISO 26203-2 High Strain Rate Tensile Testing (Servo-Hydraulic and Related Systems)

← Back to all standards

ISO 26203-2 specifies requirements for tensile testing of metallic materials at high strain rates using servo-hydraulic and other suitable high-rate systems. To match a setup to this test, talk with our team.

What ISO 26203-2 Covers

The method addresses tensile testing at strain rates far above quasi-static conditions, where inertia, load-cell ringing, and fast data acquisition become critical. It is used for crash, impact, and dynamic material models.

High-Rate Test Requirements

Reliable high-rate data depends on stiff, low-mass fixturing, force measurement that avoids ringing, and high-speed strain measurement such as optical methods. The standard sets out how to control and report these.
