TS 1398-1 Plastics - Determination of Tensile Properties

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of TS 1398-1 test. This standard covers general principles for the determination of the tensile properties of plastics and plastic composites under certain conditions.

TS 1398-1 is a technical specification that falls under the category of plastic tests. Specifically, it concerns the determination of the tensile properties of plastics. Tensile properties refer to the mechanical behavior of a material under tensile or tensile forces. These properties are important for understanding how a material will behave when exposed to different loads and conditions.

Defines guidelines for the preparation and handling of test specimens. Samples must be carefully prepared and standardized to obtain accurate and reproducible results.

It covers detailed step-by-step instructions on how to perform tensile tests on plastic samples. This includes information about the rate of deformation, the test rate, and the measurements to be taken.

The methods are selectively suitable for use with the following materials:

• Rigid and semi-rigid molding, extrusion and cast thermoplastic materials, including filled and reinforced compounds, in addition to unfilled types; rigid and semi-rigid thermoplastic sheets and films;
• Hard and semi-rigid thermosetting molding materials, including filled and reinforced compounds; rigid and semi-rigid thermosetting sheets, including laminates;
• Fiber-reinforced thermosets and thermoplastic composites containing unidirectional or non-unidirectional reinforcements such as straw, woven fabrics, woven rovings, chopped strands, combination and hybrid reinforcement, rovings and milled fibers; sheet (prepregs) made of pre-impregnated materials;
• Thermotropic liquid crystal polymers.
