ASTM E604-83(2002)
Historical Standard: ASTM E604-83(2002) Standard Test Method for Dynamic Tear Testing of Metallic Materials
SUPERSEDED (see Active link, below)
ASTM E604
1. Scope
1.1 This test method covers the dynamic tear (DT) test using specimens that are 3/16 in. to 5/8 in. (5 mm to 16 mm) inclusive in thickness.
1.2 This test method is applicable to materials with a minimum thickness of 3/16 in. (5 mm).
1.3 The pressed-knife procedure described for sharpening the notch tip generally limits this test method to materials with a hardness level less than 36 HRC.
Note 1The designation 36 HRC is a Rockwell hardness number of 36 on Rockwell C scale as defined in Test Methods E 18.
