Conversion of strain into other strain

Calculation of a comparable strain

Elongation results of a metal tensile test, e.g. according to ISO 6892-1 – A80 and A5,65 – cannot be directly compared.
      You can find an explanation here here (Keyword: “comparability of elongation at break”).
In order to be able to compare these strain results with each other, we have created a way on this page to convert a known strain (A80) into another strain (A50). The comparative strain is calculated by entering

• the % elongation at break A (initial elongation)
• the % uniform strain Ag (initial strain Ag)
• the sample cross-section So (mm²) (if deposited)

Note: This conversion can be done in the testing software LabTest can be easily integrated to be available as a parallel result.
