BS ISO 23788:2012

This standard BS ISO 23788:2012 Metallic materials. Verification of the alignment of fatigue testing machines is classified in these ICS categories:

• 77.040.10 Mechanical testing of metals

This International Standard describes a method for verifying the alignment in a testing machine using a strain-gauged measuring device. It is applicable to dynamic uniaxial tension/compression, pure torsion and combined tension/compression plus torsion fatigue testing machines for metallic materials.

The methodology outlined in this International Standard is generic and can be applied to static testing machines and in non-metallic materials testing.
