How to Read Steel Test Certificates (Even If You're Not an Engineer)

A mill test certificate is your official document of chemical and mechanical assurance. The key figures to check are the Yield Strength (Minimum 500 N/mm² for Fe 500) and Ultimate Tensile Strength.

Always check the carbon equivalent value (must stay below 0.42%) and elongation values (minimum 16% for high ductility).
