Abstract
ASTM E1012(2019) and ISO 23788(2012) are both available methods based on using strain-gaged alignment transducers for alignment verification of material test machines. It is significant to make known the scope and applications of these standards, as poor alignment adversely affects test results. In this paper, similarities and differences of ASTM E1012(2019) and ISO 23788(2012) are criticized by scanning criteria such as sources of misalignment, configurations of strain-gaged alignment transducers, verification of machine alignment, and determination of alignment class.
