ISO 8492:2013规定了一种通过压扁确定圆形截面金属管承受塑性变形能力的方法。它也可以用来揭示管子中的缺陷。 ISO 8492:2013适用于外径不大于600 mm且厚度不大于外径15%的管道。本国际标准适用的外径或厚度范围可在相关产品标准中更精确地规定。

ISO 8492:2013 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. ISO 8492:2013 is applicable to tubes having an outside diameter no greater than 600 mm and a thickness no greater than 15 % of the outside diameter. The range of the outside diameter or thickness, for which this International Standard is applicable, may be more exactly specified in the relevant product standard.
