Due to the very large number of tests offered, descriptions of those most commonly requested have been gathered into the following groups:

ASTM G49 – Standard Preparation and Use of Direct Tension Stress-Corrosion Test Specimens

To request a quotation for any test email info@trl.com for a prompt reply

ASTM G49 covers the procedures involves for designing, preparing, and using ASTM standard tension test specimens for investigating susceptibility to stress-corrosion cracking. Stress-corrosion cracking is the brittle failure of a metal due to the combined effects of localized corrosion and tensile stress.

This method is useful for investigating the resistance to stress-corrosion cracking of metallic materials in all types of product forms, the design of loading equipment and the effects of stress in the specimen as corrosion occurs.

Touchstone Engineers will work with you in order to find the best testing conditions to fit your need. Please email info@trl.com or call (304) 547-5800 for information regarding test procedures, results, specimen information, pricing or any other ASTM G49 questions you may have.
