Sample Dimensions Preparation Laboratory
Explanations and sample dimension table: the dimensions of samples for mechanical research tests are listed in the table below. If your sample does not meet the requirements listed in the tables below, please contact us. It may be possible to use smaller samples (Sub Size) or other methods to perform the requested research tests. Samples larger than those listed below will not cause issues but will increase the machining costs of the samples. The table below serves as a good reference for the majority of samples.
For special cases, please contact us.

Notes :
Note 1: Rebar or wire with diameter below 7 mm requires a length of 40 cm.
Note 2: Pipes up to 85 mm thickness require a length of 38 cm, and pipes thicker than this require a length of 15 cm.
Note 3: Dimensional requirements vary depending on the sample size and characteristics, but 30 cm length is suitable.
Note 4: Length 10 cm and width 10 cm in longitudinal direction with minimum thickness of 4 mm are considered.
Note 5: For rolling, specify on the submitted samples.
