ASTM D2290 Apparent Hoop Tensile Strength of Plastic Pipe (Split Disk / Ring Segment)
ASTM D2290 is the test method for the apparent hoop tensile strength of plastic and reinforced-plastic pipe using a split-disk fixture. To match this to your program, talk with our team.
What ASTM D2290 Covers
It measures the tensile strength of a pipe wall in the hoop (circumferential) direction, which governs the internal-pressure capacity of the pipe.
How the Test Is Run
A ring cut from the pipe is loaded over a split-disk fixture that pulls the ring apart circumferentially until failure, and the apparent hoop tensile strength is calculated from the load and wall geometry.
Why It Matters
Hoop tensile strength is central to pressure-pipe design; a split-disk fixture sized for the pipe diameter is required.
