ASTM D1822 Tensile-Impact Resistance of Plastics

← Back to all standards

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.
