ASTM E1012-05
Standard Practice for Verification of Test Frame and Specimen Alignment Under Tensile and Compressive Axial Force Application
1.1 Included in this practice are methods covering the determination of the amount of bending that occurs during the application of tensile and compressive forces to notched and unnotched test specimens in the elastic range and to plastic strains less than 0.002. These methods are particularly applicable to the force application rates normally used for tension testing, creep testing, and uniaxial fatigue testing.
