scope:

This test method applies to determining tensile characteristics of plastics by applying a load on the specified test piece under the constant conditions (conditioning, temperature/humidity, test speed).

Characteristics of plastics measured by this test method are as follows.

Tensile strength

Tensile stress at break

Yield stress or off-set yield stress

Tensile stress at given elongation

Strain at maximum load

Strain at break

Strain at yield stress

PURPOSE

This standard is used to determine the tensile characteristics of plastics by applying the specified load on the plastic test piece.
