ASTM D1822 is the test method for the tensile-impact resistance of plastics, measuring the energy to break a specimen loaded in tension at high speed. To match this to your program, talk with our team.
What ASTM D1822 Covers
It uses a pendulum to apply a rapid tensile load to a plastic specimen, capturing impact toughness for thin or brittle materials that are difficult to test by notched-beam methods.
Why It Matters
Tensile-impact suits films and thin sections where Izod or Charpy notching is impractical, giving a toughness ranking under high strain rate.
