ISO 527-2 — Tensile Properties of Plastics (Test Conditions for Moulding and Extrusion Plastics)

← Back to all standards

ISO 527-2 specifies the test conditions for determining the tensile properties of moulding and extrusion plastics. To match this to your program, talk with our team.

What ISO 527-2 Covers

It applies the general ISO 527-1 principles to moulded and extruded plastics, fixing specimen shapes and test speeds so results for these materials are comparable.

How the Test Is Run

A dumbbell specimen is pulled at a defined speed with strain measured over the gauge length, and tensile strength, modulus, and elongation are determined.

Why It Matters

Moulding and extrusion grades are qualified against ISO 527-2; consistent specimens and accurate strain measurement are essential.
