Plastics -- Determination of tensile properties - Part 2: Test conditions for moulding and extrusion plastics

Abstract

1.1 This document specifies the test conditions for determining the tensile properties of moulding and
extrusion plastics, based upon the general principles given in ISO 527-1.
1.2 The methods are selectively suitable for use with the following range of materials in the preferred
thickness, or, in case of specimen machined from moulded parts in the thickness as moulded:
— rigid and semi-rigid thermoplastics moulding, extrusion and cast materials, including compounds filled
and reinforced by, for example, short fibres, small rods, plates or granules but excluding textile fibres
(see ISO 527-4 and ISO 527-5).
NOTE See ISO 527-1:2019, Clause 3 for the definition of "rigid" and "semi-rigid".
— rigid and semi-rigid thermosetting moulding and cast materials, including filled and reinforced
compounds but excluding textile fibres as reinforcement (see ISO 527-4 and ISO 527-5);
— thermotropic liquid crystal polymers.
The methods are not normally suitable for use with rigid cellular materials or sandwich structures
containing cellular material. For rigid cellular materials, see ISO 1926.
The methods are not suitable for flexible films and sheets, of thickness smaller than 1 mm, see ISO 527-3.
1.3 The methods are applied using specimens which can be either moulded to the chosen dimensions or
machined, cut or punched from injection? or compression?moulded plates. The multipurpose test specimen
is preferred (see ISO 20753).
