Abstract��The updated quasi-statistic fracture toughness standard GB/T 21143��2014 made some modifications with respect to the last edition GB/T 21143��2007. Some differences between these two standards were compared and discussed assisted by the specific experiment. The calculation formulas for[J]and[��]were campared. The coefficient[g2(a0/W)]in the formulas was replaced by[g2(a/W)��]which resulted in higher values for the resistance curve and[J0.2BL]compared to those of the last edition. But it was still conservative that[J0.2BL]compared with standard ASTM E1820-2011. In GB/T 21143��2014�� the rotation correction was introduced into the calculations of[��0]and[�ģ�]which made the calculation results more accurate. In addition�� the new measuring method and specimen type were added in the latest standard�� which brought significant convenience for the testing of small specimens. The schematic diagram for the measurement of the crack length was also modified in this new standard. However�� the method in new standard was still not adapted to measure the crack length of high toughness materials. This problem may be resolved by referring to the standard BS 7448.
