Description
This Standard specifies a method for determining the tensile properties of plastics in the form of standard test specimens under defined conditions such as pretreatment, temperature, humidity and speed of testing.
Scope
The following range of materials may be tested in accordance with this Standard:
- (a) Flexible thermoplastic sheet, extrusion and moulding compounds.
- (b) Rigid thermoplastic and thermosetting sheet, extrusion and moulding compounds.
- (c) Rigid thermoplastic materials for injection moulding, including filled or fibre-reinforced compounds.
- (d) Reinforced thermoplastic sheet.
- (e) Industrial and decorative laminates with reinforcement, in the form of sheet.
- (f) Thermosetting composites with reinforcement in the form of random fibres, mat, woven coarse yarn cloth, woven fine yarn cloth or woven roving.
- (g) Fibre reinforced materials with unidirectional reinforcing, including prepregs.
- (h) Finished products made from these materials. This Standard is not suitable for determining the tensile properties of plastics sheet or film, the thickness of which is less than 1 mm.
This Standard is not suitable for determining the tensile properties of cellular materials.
