Fracture Toughness Testing Standards

Fracture toughness – it’s important to get the testing right; but do you ever get confused between a CTOD test and a J R-curve test?

Is there a difference between the American and British standards for CTOD?
What does the reference temperature ,T0, mean?

Is a single edge notched tension specimen the same as a compact tension specimen?

Matt Haslett from TWI will provide information on the range of current national and international standards for fracture toughness testing.

This webinar will explain what’s covered in each standard, so you can compare where they differ and where there is commonality, allowing you to feel more confident in specifying which standard you wish to carry out your testing to.
