ISO 527-3 — Tensile properties of plastic films and sheets (test conditions)
ISO 527-3 specifies the test conditions for determining the tensile properties of plastic films and sheets. To match this to your program, talk with our team.
What ISO 527-3 Covers
It applies the general ISO 527-1 principles to thin films and sheets, addressing the gripping and strain-measurement challenges that arise with thin, flexible material.
How the Test Is Run
A strip or dumbbell of film is gripped and pulled at a defined speed, with careful alignment and low grip pressure to avoid tearing, and tensile properties are determined.
Why It Matters
Film and sheet grades are qualified against ISO 527-3; clean edges and gentle gripping keep failures in the gauge length.
