EN ISO 6721-6 Plastics - Determination of Dynamic Mechanical Properties - Part 6: Shear Vibration - Non-Resonance Method

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN ISO 6721-6 testing. This standard describes a forced, non-resonant method for determining the shear complex modulus G* components of polymers at frequencies typically in the range of 0,01 Hz to 100 Hz. Higher frequency measurements can be made, but significant errors may occur in the measured dynamic properties. The method is suitable for measuring dynamic storage modules in the range of 0,1 MPa to 50 MPa.

This method is particularly suitable for the measurement of loss factors greater than 0 and can therefore be conveniently used to study the variation of dynamic properties with temperature and frequency over most of the glass-rubber relaxation region. The availability of data determined over wide ranges of both frequency and temperature enables the derivation of master plots using frequency/temperature shift procedures that show dynamic properties over an extended frequency range at different temperatures.

A test specimen assembly is subjected to a sinusoidal shear force or deformation at a frequency significantly below the fundamental shear resonance frequency. The amplitudes of the force and displacement cycles applied to the test specimen assembly and the phase angle between these cycles are measured.

The term transducer in this standard refers to any device capable of measuring the applied force or displacement as a function of time, or the ratio of these quantities. Calibration of transducers must be traceable to national standards for force and length measurement. Calibration shall be accurate to ± 2% of the minimum force and displacement cycle amplitudes applied to the test specimen assembly to determine dynamic properties.
