ISO 2818 Plastics - Preparation of Test Samples by Machining

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ISO 2818 testing. This standard specifies the general principles and procedures to be followed when processing and notching test specimens from compression molded and injection molded plastics, extruded sheets, plates and partially finished or fully finished products.

ISO 2818 Plastics - Preparation of Test Samples by Machining

To provide a basis for repeatable machining and notching conditions, the following general standardized conditions apply. However, it is assumed that the exact procedures used are chosen or specified by the relevant material specification or standards for particular test methods. If sufficiently detailed procedures are not specified as such, the parties concerned agree on the terms to be used.

The standard outlines procedures for the preparation of test specimens in various shapes, including rods, plates, and discs. Test specimens can be used for a variety of physical and mechanical tests to evaluate the properties of plastics, including tensile strength, flexural strength, and impact strength.

ISO 2818 is particularly useful for plastic manufacturers and users who need to test the mechanical and physical properties of materials for quality control or design purposes. The standard provides a reliable and repeatable method for the machining preparation of test specimens, ensuring accurate and consistent testing of plastics.

It is important to note that while ISO 2818 provides a useful tool for the preparation of test specimens by machining, it is not the only factor to consider when selecting and using plastics. Other factors such as specific application and environmental conditions must also be considered when evaluating the suitability of plastics for a particular use. Therefore, it is important to evaluate all relevant factors when selecting and using plastics for a particular application.
