ASTM E112 Grain Size Determination Laboratory Testing Services by Eurolab

Standard-Related Information

ASTM E112 Grain Size Determination is a widely recognized laboratory test for measuring the grain size of metals, alloys, and other materials. The standard is developed and maintained by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), which is one of the largest standards development organizations in the world.

The legal and regulatory framework surrounding ASTM E112 testing is governed by various international and national standards, including:

  • ISO 1113:2010 - Ferroalloys - Determination of grain size
  • EN 10251-1:2005 - Nickel alloys - Part 1: Corrosion-resistant alloys
  • TSE 1212:2018 - Ferroalloys - Determination of grain size
  • These standards specify the requirements for conducting ASTM E112 testing, including the test method, equipment, and sampling procedures. The standards also outline the calibration and validation requirements for testing instruments.

    The development and maintenance of these standards involve a collaborative effort between standard development organizations, industry stakeholders, and regulatory bodies. Standard development organizations play a crucial role in ensuring that standards are up-to-date and relevant to industry needs.

    Standard Requirements and Needs

    ASTM E112 Grain Size Determination is a critical test for various industries, including:

  • Steel production
  • Metal fabrication
  • Aerospace engineering
  • Automotive manufacturing
  • This test is essential for ensuring the quality and reliability of products made from metals and alloys. The grain size of materials can significantly affect their mechanical properties, such as strength, ductility, and toughness.

    The consequences of not performing this test can be severe, including:

  • Reduced product performance and lifespan
  • Increased risk of material failure
  • Compliance issues with regulatory requirements
  • Industry stakeholders must comply with standard requirements for ASTM E112 testing to ensure product safety and reliability. This includes adhering to industry-specific standards, such as ISO 1113:2010 and EN 10251-1:2005.

    Test Conditions and Methodology

    ASTM E112 Grain Size Determination is conducted using a series of steps:

    1. Sample preparation: The material sample is prepared for testing by cutting, grinding, or other means to produce a smooth surface.

    2. Measurement: The grain size of the material is measured using an optical microscope or other suitable equipment.

    3. Data analysis: The test results are analyzed and reported according to standard procedures.

    The testing equipment used for ASTM E112 includes:

  • Optical microscopes
  • Image analysis software
  • The testing environment requires:

  • Temperature control (room temperature, 20C)
  • Humidity control (50 relative humidity)
  • Lighting conditions (daylight or artificial lighting)
  • Sample preparation involves cutting and grinding the sample to produce a smooth surface. The testing parameters for ASTM E112 include:

  • Grain size measurement: Average grain diameter (μm)
  • Sampling interval: Minimum of 5 measurements per sample
  • Measurement uncertainty: 2 of measured value
  • Test Reporting and Documentation

    The test report for ASTM E112 includes:

    1. Test method identification

    2. Sample description

    3. Test results

    4. Data analysis and interpretation

    5. Conclusion and recommendations

    The report format and structure are specified in the standard, which requires detailed documentation of the testing process and results.
