This standard specifies the tensile testing of complete steel tubes or
longitudinal strips of full thickness cut from steel tubes having a
2 cross-sectional area generally not less than 40 mm . The longitudinal
strip test is not,however, usually carried out on tubes less than 0.5 mm
thick. For the tensile testing of other steel products not specified
herein, reference should be made to the following parts of this standard.
(1) TIS 244, Part 4 : Method for tensile testing of steel (general)
(2) TIS 244, Part 5 : Method for tensile testing of steel sheet
and strip
(3) TIS 244, Part 7 : Method for tensile testing of steel wire
