ISO/DIS 18989: Strain-rate dependent tensile tests for thermoplastics
ISO 18989 describes a procedure for generating tensile stress-strain curves for plastics, providing curve data for engineering use. To match this to your program, talk with our team.
What ISO 18989 Covers
It focuses on capturing full tensile stress-strain curves for plastics rather than single-point values, supporting design and simulation with continuous data.
How the Test Is Run
A specimen is pulled at a controlled rate with accurate strain measurement across the full range, and the complete stress-strain curve is recorded and presented.
Why It Matters
Full stress-strain curves feed material models and design work, going beyond the strength and modulus of a single-point report.
