Detailed explanation-1: -ASTM A370 shares the same testing equipment and test methods as another major metals testing standard, ASTM E8. A370 differs from E8 in that it further defines the specimen characteristics of steels specific to several different product types.

Detailed explanation-2: -ASTM D638 is performed by applying a tensile force to a sample specimen and measuring various properties of the specimen under stress. It is conducted on a universal testing machine (also called a tensile testing machine) at tensile rates ranging from 1 to 500 mm/min until the specimen fails (yields or breaks).
