Full Description

This document specifies test procedures for the acquisition and presentation of multipoint data on the following mechanical properties of plastics:

dynamic modulus;

tensile properties at constant test speed;

ultimate stress and strain;

tensile stress-strain curves;

tensile creep;

Charpy impact strength;

puncture impact behaviour.

The test methods and test conditions apply predominantly to those plastics that can be injection- or compression-moulded or prepared as sheets of specified thickness from which specimens of the appropriate size can be machined.
