This part of ISO 527 specifies the c determining the tensile properties of plastic films or sheets less than 1 mm thick, based upon the general principles given in pi NOTE 1 For sheets greater than 7 mm thick, the user is referted to part 2 of this international Standarc. 1.2 See ISO 527-1, subciause 1 is part of ISO 527 is not normally suit ing the tensile properties of: ble for 2) cellular materiais; 2). plastics reinforced by textle fibres. 1.4 See ISO 527-1, subclause 1.5. 2 Normative references The following standards contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this part of ISO 527. At the time of publication, the ecitions indicated were valid, All standards are subje: 10 revision, and parties to agreements based on this part of ISO 527 are encouraged 0 investigate the possiti stancards ity of applying the most recent ecitions of icated below. Members of IEC and 1SO maintain registers of currently valid International ‘Standards, |SO 527-1:1883, Plastics — Determination of tensile properties — Part 1: General principles.

Principle See ISO 527-1, clause 3. 4. Definitions See iSO 527-1, clause 4. 5 Apparatus See ISO 827-1, clause 5, subject to the folowing a itional requirements: in 5.1.2, the tensileesting machine shall oe capable ‘of maintaining the speeds of testing as specified in table 1 of ISO 827-1. itis normal for fis anc sheets to be tested at a speed of 5 mm/min, 50 mmimin, 100 mmjmin, 200 mmjmin, 300 mm/min _ or 500 mmjmin. The information contained in ISO 627. subclause 9.6, also applies.ISO 527-3:1995(E) In 5.1.5, when testing thin sheets or film material, the specimen shall not carry the weight of the extensometer. In 5.2, devices compiying with the requirements in ISO 4893 shall be used for measuring the thickness, except in the case of very thin film (less than 0,01 mm thick) or embossed film. In those cases, the thickness shell be determined by the method speci fied in [SO 4581. When iSO 4581 is used, the average thickness of the film sample shail be taken as the thickness of the test specimen. 6 Test specimens 6.1 Shape and dimensions 6.1.1 The preferred form of test specimen for the determ nsile properties by this method is fa sttip 10 mm to 25mm wide and not less then 150 mm long (specimen type 2 — see figure ©1so having two parallel gauge marks, 50 mm apart, on the central portion of the specimen. Some film materials have @ very high elongation at break which may result in them being outside the stfetching capacity of the testing machine. in such cases, it is permissible to reduce the initial distance between the gras 10 50 mm. 6.1.2 When required by the specification for the material under test or for routine quality-control test Gumo-bell specimen types §, 18 and 4 of tne shape and dimensions shown in figures 2, 3 and 4 may be used. These specimens are convenient to produce ‘and permit rapié quality-control testing, Specimen type 5 (figure2) is recommended for fi ang sheet with 2 very nigh si break. Specimen type 4 is recommended for other types of flexible thermoplastic sheet. Specimen type 18 (figure3} is recommended for rigic sheets. j—Seuge meres, ° b Wich: 10 mm to 28 mm Thickness: <1 1, Gauge lenge L tial distance between gf > 180 mm, 50 mm 4, Overall iength Figure 1 — Speriso ISO 527-3: io be NZ case nares a >, Wiath of narrow parallebsided portion: 6 mm = 0,4 mm Width at ends: 25 mm zt mm.
