ASTM C1273 Standard Test Method for Tensile Strength of Monolithic Enhanced Ceramics at Ambient Temperatures

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance service within the scope of ASTM C1273 standard. This test method covers the determination of the tensile strength of monolithic advanced ceramics under uniaxial loading at ambient temperatures.

This test method considers, but is not limited to, a variety of suggested test specimen geometries, as listed in the appendices. In addition, test specimen manufacturing methods, test modes (force, displacement or strain control), test rates (force ratio, stress ratio, displacement ratio or strain ratio), allowable bending, and data collection and reporting procedures are covered.

This test method is primarily applicable to advanced ceramics that exhibit macroscopically isotropic, homogeneous, and continuous behavior.

While this test method applies primarily to monolithic advanced ceramics, certain bristle- or particle-reinforced composite ceramics, as well as certain discontinuous fiber-reinforced composite ceramics, can meet these macroscopic behavior assumptions. Generally, continuous fiber ceramic composites (CFCCs) do not exhibit macroscopically isotropic, homogeneous, continuous behavior and this application is not recommended for these materials.

This standard does not purport to address all, if any, safety concerns associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health and environmental practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory restrictions prior to use.
