ISO 9854-2 Thermoplastic Pipes for the Transport of Fluids - Determination of Pendulum Impact Strength by Charpy Method - Part 2: Test Conditions for Pipes of Various Materials

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ISO 9854-2 testing. It specifies the values ​​or options chosen for the test parameters for testing the impact resistance (pendulum method) of thermoplastic pipes, i.e. impact energy, test piece dimensions, shape and spacing of test piece supports, and test piece type. Applies to pipes made of PVC-U; PVC-U,EP; PVC-C; ABS; ASA and PP and propylene-copolymer. This test is not intended to be a reference test method for determining the impact strength of pipes.

It is suitable for characterizing the impact behavior only by the impact strength and using apparatus whose potential energy approximately matches the fracture energy to be measured. This standard is used to record a force-deflection or force-time diagram for detailed characterization of impact behavior and to develop automatic apparatus, ie avoiding the need to match energy.

Information about the typical behavior of materials can be obtained by testing at different temperatures, varying the radius of notch or sample thickness, and testing samples prepared under different conditions.

Test results obtained by this method can only be compared if the test specimen preparation conditions as well as the test conditions are the same. Therefore, the impact behavior of finished products cannot be directly predicted from this test.

EUROLAB assists manufacturers with ISO 9854-2 test compliance. Our test experts, with their professional working mission and principles, provide you, our manufacturers and suppliers, the best service and controlled testing process in our laboratories.
