DIN-Taschenbuch 317/1

Werkstoffprüfung 1 (Material testing 1)

Basic principles: Machine technology, test specimens and measuring accuracy

Mechanical testing is an important part of material testing and ensures safety and high quality – thanks to standards that extend across international borders. "Material testing 1" contains sixteen documents, including a VDI Guideline, which address mechanical material testing methods for metallic materials and plastics.

The DIN Taschenbuch 317/1 aims to help with the selection of the test method and to facilitate their proper implementation. It provides detailed coverage of aspects such as the preparation of test specimens or the specific requirements for measuring equipment and testing machines. It also covers subjects such as test equipment inspection and calibration, as well as documentation and inspection certification.

The documents included are categorized into the following subject areas:

• Basics of failure analysis, testing machines, inspection certificates, test personnel
• Test specimens made of metals and plastics – dimensions, preparation, conditioning
• Calibration of testing machines
• Determination of the accuracy of measurement results

A detailed keyword index makes it easier to work with this extensive book.
