Different pipe manufacturing techniques, such as the manufacture of seamless pipes in the oil sector employing a conical shaft, necessitate data on the circumferential strain and stress condition of the pipe. The purpose of this study was to evaluating the displacement, strain, and stress behavior of a pipe ring tensile specimen (PRTS) in the hoop direction, as there was a lack of a standardized testing methodology. Five single S235JRH steel PRTS were tested for the study. The study describes how to test S235JRH steel PRTS with a Digital Image Correlation approach. The 3D Digital Image Correlation technique methodology was used to record the evolution of the strain. In the break zone and almost equivalent locations, all Single PRTS fractured. The experimental ultimate strength value's deviation value (also known as the real stress value) is greater than the theoretical ultimate strength value.

The three-point bending test is a widely used and important method for evaluating the mechanical properties of materials. Its versatility, applicability, and ability to provide valuable information on flexural strength, stiffness, and fracture toughness make it a valuable tool in materials science, engineering, and biomedical research. Digital Image Correlation (DIC) provides a high resolution and full-field measurement of deformation during the bending process. DIC also allows for the calculation of strain fields, which can be used to determine material properties such as Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio. This is particularly important in understanding the strain distribution and identifying potential failure mechanisms in the material. In this paper, the potential application of the 2D Digital Image Correlation method on three-point bending tests is presented.
