NATIONAL FOREWORD This Indian Standard ( Second Revision ) which is identical-with ISO 8492:1998 Metallic materials Tube Flattening test issued by the International Organization for Standardization ( ISO ) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on therecommendations of the Mechanical Testing of Metals Sectional Committee and approval of the Metallurgical Engineering Division Council. This Indian Standard was originally published in 1963 and subsequently revised in 1983. This revision of the standard has been taken up to align it with ISO 8492 by adoption, under dual numbering system. The text of the ISO Standard has been approval as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certarn terminology and conventions are, however, not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention is particularly drawn to the followitig: a) Wherever the words International Standard appear, referring to this standard, they should be as read as Indian Standard. Comma ( , ) has been used as a decimal marker while in Indian Standards, the current practice is to use a point ( . ) as the decimal marker.
b)
In reporting the results of a test or analysis made in accordance with this standard, if the final value, oberved or calculated, is to be rounded off, it shall be done in accordance with IS 2:1960 Rules for rounding off numerical values ( revised).
Scope
This International Standard specifies a method for determining the ability of metallic tubes of circular cross-section to undergo plastic deformation by flattening. It may also be used to reveal the defects in the tubes. This International Standard is applicable to tubes having an outside diameter no greater than 600 mm and a thickness no greater than 15 YOof the outside diameter. The range of the outside diameter or thickness, for which this International Standard is applicable maybe more exactly spe~fied in the relevant product standard.
Symbols, designations
and units
Symbols, designations and units for the flattening test are given in table 1 and are shown in figure 1. Table 1 Symbol

3 Principle
Flattening the end of a tube or a test piece of specified length, cut from a tube in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the tube, until the distance between platens measured under load in the direction of flattening reaches a value specified in the relevant product standard [see figure 1, a) and b)]. In the case of close flattening, the internal sufices of the test piece shall be in contact over at least half of the internal width b of the flattened test piece standard [see figure 1 c)].

4 Testing equipment
4.1 Test machine, rigid platens. capable of flattening the test piece to the prescribed distance
The width of the platens shall -exceed the width of the test piece after flattening i,e. at least 1,6 the platens shall extend over the whole length of the test piece.
5 Test piece
5.1 The length of a test piece shall be no less than 10 mm and no more than 100 mm. The edges of the test piece may be rounded by filing or chamfeFed by other methods.
NOTE Non-rounded or non-chamferededges are permissibleif the test msuti meets the test requirements.
5.2 When the test is carried out on the end of a full-length tube, the tube shall be cut at right angles to the axis of the tube to a depth of at least 80 Y. of the tube outside diameter. The cut shall be at a distance from the end of the tube equal to the length of the test piece.
6 Procedure
6.1 In general, the test shall be carried out at ambient temperature within the timits of 10 C to 35 C. The test carried out under controlled conditions shall be made at a temperature of 23 C+ 5 C. 6.2 6.3 6.4 6.5 Place the test piece between two platens. Ensure that the weld of the welded tubes is m position as required by.the relevant product standard. .,. , Flatten the test piece by moving the platens in a direction pe~endicular to the longitudinal axis of the tube. In case of dispute, the rate of movement of the platens shall not exceed 25 mtimin.
6.6 Interpretation of the flattening test shall be carried out in accordance with the requirements of the relevant product standard. When these requirements are not specified, the test piece shall be con~dered to have passed the test if no cracks are visible without the use of magnifying aids. Slight cracking at the edges shall not be considered cause for rejedion.
7 Test report
A test report shall be provided when so specified in the-relevant product standard. In this case, the test report shall include at least the following information: a) b) c) d) e) o reference to this International Standard, i.e. ISO 8492 iderdification of the test pieoe; dimensions of the test pieca distan~ between platens;

Amendments are issued to standards as the need arises on the basis of comments. Standards are also reviewed periodically; a standard along with amendments is reaffirmed when such review indicates that no changes are needed; if the review indicates that changes are needed, it is taken up for revision.
