The plastic tensile test determines the strength and elongation of thermoplastic and thermoset materials under tensile load. Standard specimens, moulded or cut from the product, are pulled to fracture at a speed suited to the material.
Determined Values
- Tensile strength
- Yield stress and strain at yield
- Stress and elongation at break
- Modulus of elasticity (on request)
Applied Standards
- ISO 527-1 / ISO 527-2 – Plastics, determination of tensile properties
- EN ISO 6259-1 / 6259-3 – Thermoplastic pipes, determination of tensile properties
