L3 Analyzing Your Test

5.5.4 Offset Yield Point Algorithm The Offset Yield algorithm is a point result. This is used in conjunction with the Slope/Modulus tool. The Slope tool is used to find the slope of your graph trace for a segment that you specify using scoping.

5.5.4.1 Offset Yield ID The Offset Yield ID is the identifier of the line that will be used to obtain the Slope Intersect point. Because your graph may have more than one slope line, L3 Series software requires that you specify the slope line to be used. Offset Yield Scope The Offset Yield point may be scoped based on a percent of the strain value (Offset) and referenced to the slope line. You may vary the per- cent offset if necessary. 5.5.4.2 5.5.4.3 Offset Yield Name The Offset Yield name is the point name. The default name for this result in the same for a point, e.g. σ Pt. It may be useful to rename this point to show its a point constructed by the slope line. For example, you might want to name as the Tensile Strength at 0.2% (TS@0.2%).

The Offset Yield may be used with stress-strain test.

The Offset Yield algorithm lets you find a point along your slope line that is parallel to the slope line and that is offset from the slope line by a percent of the strain. Where the offset line intersects your data trace is the offset point. NOTE This point uses the slope line as opposed to the data line on your graph. The offset line is drawn parallel to the slope line with a percent offset based on strain.
