Plastic Tensile Test Specimen

We produce a comprehensive selection of plastic tensile test specimens which can be employed in various modules within university and college courses.

Plastic tensile test specimen. This test method uses standard dumbell or dogbone shaped specimens under 14mm of thickness. Facilities for repeatedly producing good quality specimens in house are not always available and even if they are it may not always be practical cost effective. While it provides similar results to astm d638 iso 527 2 is not considered technically equivalent due to differences in specimen size and test requirements while some large multinational manufacturers test to both astm d638 and iso 527 2 most of our customers demonstrate a. It is conducted on a universal testing machine also called a tensile testing machine at tensile rates ranging from 1 to 500 mm min until the specimen fails yields or breaks.

Metallic tensile test specimens. Properties that are directly measured via a tensile test are ultimate tensile strength breaking strength maximum elongation and reduction in area. Astm d638 is one of the most common plastic strength specifications and covers the tensile properties of unreinforced and reinforced plastics. Iso 527 2 is an international standard for determining the tensile properties of reinforced and non reinforced plastics.

A universal testing machine tensile testing machine is needed to perform this test. Plastic tensile test specimens. Though astm d638 measures many different tensile properties the following are the. From these measurements the following properties can also be determined.

Tensile testing also known as tension testing is a fundamental materials science and engineering test in which a sample is subjected to a controlled tension until failure. Plastic tensile test specimens.
