This part of GB/T 228 specifies the principle, definition, symbols, explanation, test piece and dimensional measurement, testing equipment, testing requirements, performance determination, the numerical rounding of determination results and testing report of the method for tensile testing of metallic materials.
This Part applies the determination of tensile performance of metallic materials at room temperature.
Note: Annex A indicates complementary recommendations for computer controlled testing machines.

3 Terms and Definitions.
The following terms and definitions as well as those in GB/T 10623 are applicable to this Part.
3.1 Gauge length
L
The length of the circular column or prism part of the sample in measurement of the elongation.
3.1.1 Original gauge length
Lo
Length between gauge length marks on the piece measured at room temperature before the exertion of forces
3.1.2 Final, gauge length after fracture
Lu
Length between gauge length marks on the test piece measured after rupture, at room temperature, the two pieces having been carefully fitted back together so that their axes lie in a straight line.
3.2 Parallel length
Lc
Length of the parallel reduced section of the test piece.
Note: The concept of parallel length is replaced by the concept of distance between grips for unmachined test pieces.
3.3 Elongation
Increase in the original gauge length at any moment during the test
3 .4 Percentage elongation
Elongation expressed as a percentage of the original gauge length [1].
3.4.1 Percentage of permanent elongation
Increase in the original gauge length Lo of a test piece after removal of a specified stress, expressed as a percentage of the original gauge length.
3.4.2 Percentage elongation after fracture
A
Permanent elongation of the gauge length after fracture (Lu-Lo) expressed as a percentage of the original gauge length (Lo) [1].
