ISO 7800 is an international standard developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) that provides guidelines for metallic materials torsional testing. This standard specifies the general principles and procedures for conducting torsion tests to determine the torsional properties of metallic specimens.

The standard outlines the test setup, specimen preparation, and testing procedure for measuring metallic materials’ torsional properties. It covers a wide range of metallic materials, including ferrous and non-ferrous metals, and provides guidance on the selection of test parameters such as torque levels, test speed, and specimen dimensions.

ISO 7800 promotes the standardization and harmonization of torsional testing practices. This enables accurate comparison of test results across different laboratories and facilitating the exchange of data within the international engineering and manufacturing community. It contributes to the overall quality, safety, and reliability of metallic materials used in various industries, including automotive, aerospace, construction, and manufacturing.

NextGen’s GenTor Horizontal Torsion Tester complies with ISO 7800 standard.
