ISO 527 - Tensile testing of polyetheretherketone rods. This standard defines yield strength, elongation at break, modulus of elasticity, and ultimate tensile strength. It is used for rod batch control, component design, and load calculations.
ASTM D638 is a tensile test method for plastics. This standard is used to evaluate the material's behavior at fracture, yield strength, elongation, modulus of elasticity, yield stress, tensile strength, stress and elongation at break, and ultimate tensile strength.
ISO 178 is a test method for determining the mechanical properties of plastics in static bending. This standard is used to test composites, engineering polymers, reinforced plastics, thermosetting plastics, and thermoplastics. These tests determine the flexural strain, stress at a given strain, modulus of elasticity, and flexural strength.
