The standard provides a unified method for evaluating how metals respond to sudden, high-velocity loads. This is essential for selecting materials for critical infrastructure such as aircraft, pipelines, and pressure vessels where resistance to brittle fracture is paramount.

is a critical interstate standard that establishes the methodology for impact bending tests on ferrous and non-ferrous metals . Introduced on January 1, 1979, it defines the procedures for determining the impact strength (toughness) of materials across a broad temperature range, from Standard Overview and Purpose
