DIN 527-2 Plastics, Determination of Tensile Properties, Part 2: Test Conditions for Molding and Extrusion Plastics

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of DIN 527-2 test standard. DIN 527-2 specifies test conditions for determining the tensile properties of molding and extrusion plastics, based on the general principles given in DIN 527‑1.

DIN 527-2 is performed on a universal testing machine by applying a tensile force to a sample (sample) and measuring various properties of the sample material under stress.
The test is performed at tensile speeds ranging from 1 to 500 mm/min until sample fails (yields or breaks).

Although DIN 527-2 measures many different tensile properties, the most common are:

• Tensile strength is the amount of force that can be applied to a material before it flexes (repairs) or breaks;
• Tensile modulus is how much a material can deform (stretch) in response to stress before it flows;
• The elongation is the increase in gauge length after fracture divided by the original gauge length. More elongation indicates higher ductility;
• The Poisson Ratio is a measurement of the relationship between how much a material is stretched and how thin it gets during the stretching process.

There are many different test methods for various types of plastics. DIN 527-2 is designed for testing solid and semi-rigid plastics, whether molded, extruded, machined or cast.
