Elevated temperature tensile tests for sheet were performed with a strain rate that is no longer standard.  These results were from tests with a strain rate of 0.005 in./in./minute through yield and a crosshead speed of 0.5 in./minute for every inch of reduced test section from yield through failure. The current standard is to use a strain rate of 0.005 in./in./minute though yield and a crosshead speed of 0.05 in./minute for every inch of reduced test section from yield through failure.
